The one question we have been asked by most students is how to find work after you have trained with us, so we have teamed up with a company that can help! They can find therapists who work in London and all around the UK, whether it is part-time work or full time they can help. We will put you in touch with them once you have trained with us. We want to make sure we look after the students that train with us to make it easier to build your client base or just top up what you already have.
