Physiotherapist

The role involves the assessment and delivery of physiotherapy interventions for adults across Worcestershire, working within a busy outpatient department based in a local community hospital. You will assess, treat, and manage a varied MSK caseload, with referrals received from GPs, acute services in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, and self-referrals. This caseload will include patients with acute conditions such as fractures and post-operative presentations, as well as those with longer-term MSK conditions including low back pain, osteoarthritis, and tendinopathies. You will be expected, when clinically appropriate, to refer on to other services such as Advanced Practice Physiotherapy, MDT pathways, strength classes, and the Functional Restoration Service. You will engage fully in supervision with senior team members and participate in our scheduled professional activity programme.

We expect the postholder to deliver high-quality, patient-centred care supported by evidence-based practice. You will also have opportunities to contribute to service development, support the teaching and supervision of colleagues and students, and play a role in shaping future service provision.
