What a strong Physiotherapist CV needs to prove

Show outcomes, not a task list

Connect your actions to a measurable result: time, quality, revenue, cost, safety, service or risk. Add scale so the reader can judge the significance.

Make your evidence easy to verify

Keep employers, titles and dates accurate. Use direct language and include only skills you can support with genuine experience.

ATS keywords for a Physiotherapist CV

Use relevant terms naturally where they describe your real work. Mirror the job advert's wording, but do not add a skill you cannot evidence.

Common Physiotherapist CV mistakes

  1. Not stating HCPC status and clinical rotations.
  2. Listing treatments without functional outcomes.
  3. Including patient details rather than anonymised evidence.
  4. Sending the same generic summary to every employer instead of reflecting the vacancy's genuine priorities.

Worked example: strengthen one bullet

Evidence-led versionDesigned graded rehabilitation plans for a mixed MSK caseload, helping 78% of patients achieve agreed functional goals within the planned pathway.

Use the structure, not the facts. Replace every detail with evidence from your own experience.
