MSK Physiotherapist band 6 fixed term
The closing date is 01 September 2026
Job summary
The Community based Musculoskeletal (MSK) Service has an exciting opportunity to recruit a Band 6 MSK physiotherapist, for a fixed term of 12 months, to work as part of our team of physiotherapists and Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioners (APP).
We currently work out of a range of health centres and GP practices across the city. A Physiotherapy degree and HCPC registration are essential for the role. Please do not apply if you don't hold the relevant qualification, registration and MSK experience.
We are looking for an enthusiastic physiotherapist who already has experience of treating MSK patients autonomously, as well as the wider spectrum of physiotherapy, and is keen to further develop their MSK skills in order to provide specialised management of patients presenting with a wide variety of MSK conditions.
Management of MSK patients often needs adapting dependent on other co- morbidities, which is why experience of other aspects of physiotherapy is required and this role is not suitable for newly qualified physiotherapists.
During the fixed term period there may be the opportunity to apply for a permanent role within the service.
