 (Clinical Specialist) 

We have a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic, dynamic & suitably qualified physiotherapist with a specialist interest in Lower limb Orthopaedics to join our Musculoskeletal (MSK) Outpatient Therapy team at University College Hospital (UCH). 

Working alongside the wider surgical, medical & nursing teams, the successful candidate will have a pivotal role in leading the development & provision of services related to complex lower limb disorders within the Musculoskeletal outpatient physiotherapy service. 

We are a thriving department in the centre of London that boasts fantastic development & educational opportunities. We have good links with our medical & surgical colleagues, community facilities & run a variety of well-established group-based rehabilitation classes. 

The post holder will focus on the expert management of a physiotherapy clinical caseload of predominantly orthopaedic outpatients with complex Lower Limb conditions. This includes complex surgical & non-surgical patients with pre-habilitation & rehabilitation needs.

We offer support for ongoing personal development, clinical excellence & leadership skills training.

Allied to your clinical work will be managerial & administrative duties, including the operational management of the UCH lower limb rehabilitation classes.
