We are looking for dynamic, enthusiastic and highly motivated Physiotherapists to join our Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy service. Join Sirona and engage to provide the best quality of care using a variety of rehabilitation options and treatments.
When you join our friendly team, you will have your own clinical caseload treating and rehabilitating patients face to face in both a clinic and gym setting. The team has a fantastic induction, supervision, and training framework in which you will participate. We believe developing good clinicians within a dynamic and enjoyable team environment is the best way to deliver an excellent and efficient service.
The post holder will work as an autonomous practitioner within the MSK Physiotherapy Service to provide comprehensive assessment, clinical diagnosis, design, and delivery of evidence-based treatment plans for patients with highly complex and diverse presentations.
This includes the responsibility to seek advice as necessary from the Physiotherapy team, consolidate and develop skills previously learnt as an undergraduate and newly qualified physiotherapist, and develop new skills in a variety of musculoskeletal settings.
If you are excited by the prospect of joining our forward-thinking team and being a key figure in shaping MSK services within Sirona, please get in touch.

4. To agree on the treatment plan and goals with the patient and continually re-assess their response to progress treatment effectively.
5. To recognise potentially sinister signs and symptoms and contraindications to treatment from the assessment and manage these appropriately, which may involve discussion with senior clinicians and referring onwards.
6. To advise and educate patients, carers, relatives, and employers as part of the physiotherapy intervention, having a working knowledge of other health and social care disciplines.
7. To keep accurate and comprehensive written records, including progress and discharge reports to medical referrers, adhering to professional and legal accountability standards.
