Job Summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Practitioner post to support our highly specialised team of physiotherapists working across the site between the Acute and community hospital sites.

The MSK Outpatient Physiotherapy service works both with our partnership organisation and other local providers to assess and treat patients with a range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including pre- and post-operative rehabilitation. The teams work very closely with our consultant body and advanced practitioners to ensure patients follow our pathways of care based on current research evidence and NICE guidelines.

Due to the nature of this role, working across multiple sites, applicants for this role will need to be able to drive to ensure effective delivery.

Main duties of the job

You’ll collect and manage patient data to monitor outcomes and support service innovation, while also conducting health and safety checks using the ASURE system. Strong IT skills are essential.

You’ll work toward a fully funded Level 5 Foundation Degree and Band 4 competencies, supported by the Trust Education Department and physiotherapy team. Upon successful completion, you’ll transition into a Band 4 Assistant Practitioner role. Ideal candidates will have NVQ Level 3 in Health Care (or equivalent), GCSEs in Maths and English (Grade C+), the ESHT Care Certificate, and two years’ Band 3 clinical experience. Flexibility, independent travel, and excellent communication skills are essential to support patients with complex needs.
