We are looking to add a dynamic physiotherapist who can give advice to managers on how to support staff back in to work/to remain in work, to be able to provide advice to employees on how to manage their own health as well as the opportunity moving forwards to provide MSK treatment to certain staff groups.

At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it.

The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.


Our Staff Survey results showed people at our Trust feel they are engaged, part of a team and work for a compassionate and inclusive organisation.


Our overall scores were better than average in eight of nine themes and level in one - the best overall results for a community, mental health and learning disabilities Trust in the south west and first equal amongst all sector NHS providers within the region too.

It builds on what people can do, as well as addressing their health needs.
