Physiotherapist – Full or Part-Time

Countrywide Physio | Nuriootpa, Barossa Valley, SA

Enjoy the country lifestyle with city convenience — less than an hour from Adelaide

About Us

At Countrywide Physio, we believe physiotherapy is about more than treating pain — it's about restoring confidence and wellbeing, so people can live the lives they choose. We listen first, understand each person's goals, and combine hands-on treatment with the right tools — whether that's rehab, hydrotherapy, return-to-sport programs, or long-term pain management.

As a team, we're proud of the variety in our work. In one week, you might help someone regain balance after a stroke, support a person with chronic back pain to rebuild strength, and guide a patient through post-surgical rehabilitation. That variety keeps things fresh and deeply rewarding — because you see real, lasting improvements in people's lives.

Being based in a rural community, continuity matters — many of our patients stay with us for years. That builds trust, creates genuine relationships, and allows us to make a lasting impact, which is a big part of why we love what we do.

If you value patient-centred care, enjoy mixing treatment with practical problem-solving, and want to be part of a supportive, close-knit team, this is a place where you can truly grow — both in your clinical skills and your career.

Our modern clinic features a fully equipped gym and hydrotherapy pool, giving you everything you need to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care. We also provide a clear pathway for our physiotherapists to grow, progress, and advance. From day one, you'll be supported to build your confidence, develop new skills, and work toward areas of specialisation that match your interests. Whether you want to lead a clinical area, mentor others, or develop a specialist focus, we'll help you get there — with structured training, professional development, and genuine career support.
