Freelance Physiotherapist Jobs in Ipoh, Home Visits

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for freelance physiotherapists who are registered, qualified and comfortable treating patients at home. You travel in your own transport, so a car or motorbike is needed.

Here is what we ask for:

Registration with the Malaysian Allied Health Professions Council (MAHPC) and a valid practising certificate ^[1].
Comfort with home visits, including small spaces, stairs and family members in the room.
Your own transport to reach patients in Ipoh and nearby towns such as Batu Gajah, Chemor, Gopeng, Kampar, Menglembu and Tambun.
A calm, respectful way with older adults, families and children.

What does the work look like?

You visit patients in their own homes, assess how they move in their own rooms, treat them and leave a short set of exercises they can keep doing. This is the same approach as our home physiotherapy service.

Patients include stroke survivors, people recovering after surgery, older adults who want to stay independent, people with back or neck pain, and children with movement concerns. See our pages on neurological rehabilitation and post-surgical rehabilitation for how we describe this work to families.

Can I choose my hours?

Yes. Hours are flexible, because this is freelance work. Tell us the days and times you can offer and the areas you can cover, and we match visits to them.

Which languages help?

Mandarin or Cantonese is a strong plus, because a large share of our patients and families speak it. Physiotherapists of every background are welcome.

English and Bahasa Malaysia are used with patients every day, so tell us every language you are comfortable using. Our languages page explains how we write for families.

How do I apply?

Send us a WhatsApp message with five things:

Your name.
Your registration status with MAHPC and whether your practising certificate is current.
The areas you can cover.
The languages you use with patients.
Your availability, such as weekdays, evenings or weekends.

We reply, ask any follow-up questions, and talk through rates and how visits are arranged. Rates are discussed on WhatsApp.

These are the points people raise first. If yours is missing, send it on WhatsApp.

Questions people ask

Do I need to speak Mandarin or Cantonese?

No. It is a strong plus, because families who speak Chinese at home often feel more at ease with a physiotherapist who speaks it too. Physiotherapists of every background are welcome, and English and Bahasa Malaysia are also used with patients every day.

What do you pay?

We discuss rates directly on WhatsApp, so that they fit the visits and areas you can cover. Send your message first and we will talk through the details with you.

Do I need my own transport?

Yes. Home visits mean travelling between patients' homes, so you need your own way to get there. Tell us which areas you can reach comfortably.

Can I work with you alongside another job?

Yes, this is freelance work and hours are flexible. Tell us which days and times you can offer, and we will match visits to your availability.

I am newly graduated. Can I apply?

You can send a message. You need to be registered with the Malaysian Allied Health Professions Council (MAHPC) and hold a valid practising certificate. Tell us about your experience, and we will say honestly whether home visits suit you now.
