We have an exciting opportunity for a suitably qualified physiotherapist to join the Musculoskeletal Outpatient Therapy team at UCLH.

Our MSK Outpatient Band 6s have six-monthly rotations with a focus on; Fracture Clinic, Rheumatology, Sports Medicine, Upper Limb Rehabilitation, Lower Limb Rehabilitation, Hydrotherapy, Spinal Rehabilitation, and Hand Therapy. There is currently no commitment to weekend working or Inpatient rotations.

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

If successful, you will join a strong team of experienced and supportive outpatient clinicians ranging from Consultant Physiotherapists to support staff.

You will work to the highest standards to facilitate evidence informed patient care, playing a key role in implementing, facilitating and developing physiotherapy best practice in line with local and national guidelines.
