Position Overview
An exceptional opportunity has emerged to become a part of our well-established, innovative, and supportive Spinal team. We are seeking a part-time professional to contribute 16 hours per week. This team is guided by highly skilled spinal specialists, with additional support from the Clinical Team Lead, who will facilitate your training and development through the Advanced Practitioner portfolio route or the HEE APP MSc, ensuring dedicated non-clinical time is included in your role.

- Exhibit advanced physical skills in the assessment and treatment of patients, including techniques such as palpation, mobilization, manipulation, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, and injection therapy.
- Coordinate a variety of complex activities related to the management of musculoskeletal patients, which often necessitates adjusting plans and strategies in collaboration with orthopedic colleagues, general practitioners, and patients to formulate a comprehensive action plan.
- Effectively communicate the physiotherapy perspective regarding a patient's medical condition to medical colleagues and members of the multidisciplinary team, negotiating various management options as necessary.

- Engage in evidence-based projects, research, and audits under the guidance of the advanced practitioner team to inform and enhance practice.
