We are looking for passionate, motivated employees who share our enthusiasm for quality and development. If you align with our values and are committed to making a difference in healthcare we would like to hear from you.

Core Responsibilities:
Serve as an expert MSK clinician within primary care, managing patient needs within scope of practice and utilising relevant services to support GPs.
Embed within the PCN, integrating as part of the team, and engaging with all stakeholders.
Deliver programs of supported patient self-management to facilitate behavioural change, optimise physical activity and mobility, and minimise pharmacological interventions.
Uphold company beliefs and ethos as an ambassador for the organisation, ensuring thorough and transparent communication throughout work and with involved teams.
Demonstrate flexibility to work across multiple GP Practices...
