Senior MSK Physiotherapist

As the saying goes, no two days will be the same, but overall, you will be doing the following:

• Conduct comprehensive assessments, diagnosis, and management of patients that would have traditionally been referred into secondary care rheumatology services with non-inflammatory/persistent joint problems.
• Develop and implement individualised treatment plans, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, to optimally manage patients' conditions.
• Provide speciality advice to requests from stakeholders across the pathway.
• Lead and participate in multidisciplinary team meetings to coordinate care and ensure holistic treatment approaches.
• Hold professional relationships with external clinical stakeholders (such as secondary care consultants and GPs) to facilitate successful partnership working and the delivery and development of high-quality rheumatology care for patients across the system.

Main duties of the job:

• Open to Physiotherapists, the Out of Hours services at South Sefton and Southport and Formby are looking for a Senior MSK Clinician who values delivering high-quality clinical care for people with musculoskeletal conditions.
• You will undertake comprehensive assessment and diagnosis of patients with a wide variety of MSK needs, formulate, deliver, review and progress individual treatment programmes, and ensure effective treatment, specialist advice, and timely discharge are achieved.
• We are dedicated to delivering the highest level of patient care, in the most efficient and cost-effective way, with re-investment to ensure services are sustainable.
• If you are able to manage a varied caseload of MSK patients, committed to CPD, and have the desire to develop yourself and the service, with a keen eye on improving patient care, then we would be keen to hear from you.

Our interview process consists of a video assessment following your application, then a traditional interview with the hiring team. This is competency-based and will seek to provide an opportunity for you to demonstrate working at a suitable level across the pillars of practice.
