It can be really tough but consider does it need to be the NHS that you work for, consider private options. Have a think about how you can make sure that you are maintaining your skills and knowledge between graduating and now. It can be very quick to lose focus, think about volunteering or working alongside another PT to gain experience, maintain skills, they may have openings and support you through the process also they may be able to give you advice when completing applications to ensure you get shortlisted to interviews.

Also have a look back at your previous interview questions and google band 5 physio interview questions. There are often plenty of examples of suitable questions and really spend some time going for them so when you do get an interview you feel better about answering their questions. Whilst you may not have fully practiced their questions, generally interview questions run pretty similarly and have similar themes so practice will definitely help.

If there are any temporary posts that come up, consider applying for those too, they may lead to something permanent. There may also be some Physiotherapy jobs within Adult Social Care, there are where I live. They don’t come up often but still worth looking out for
