Are you a newly qualified or an established MSK Physiotherapist or Osteopath looking for a role that offers a fantastic work life balance? Or are you looking for a varied role that will give you the opportunity to work on a rotational basis across East Berkshire within MSK? If so, we have the perfect role for you.
Here at Berkshire Healthcare NHS Trust, we are offering the opportunity to join our supportive and friendly team, where we will offer you one of a kind in-service training and peer support to ensure that you are fully supported in your new position with us!
This isn't your average MSK Physiotherapist role as you will be undertaking MSK specific rotations across different sites in East Berkshire - Bracknell, Windsor, Maidenhead, and Slough - with each area offering a different insight and developmental opportunities into MSK Physiotherapy.
We work on a Monday through Friday basis, with no on-call or weekend work and offer flexible and part-time working, so that you can have a fantastic work-life balance.
We would encourage applications from physiotherapists and osteopaths with a relevant MSK degree level qualification and registration with the relevant professional body (HCPC or GOsC).
Main duties of the job
1. You will participate in an across-site MSK six-month rotational scheme, which will involve working across our different MSK Physiotherapy departments within the particular service area.
2. Providing high-quality effective assessment and physiotherapy treatment.
3. Liaising with members of the MDT to ensure the delivery of a coordinated multidisciplinary service.
4. To evaluate patient progress, reassess and alter treatment programmes if required.
Our service operates Monday to Friday between 07:30-18:00 depending on site - there will be a level of flexibility in the hours you work depending on service need. We continue to maintain an element of virtual working at the moment alongside face-to-face clinical work.
