We have an exciting for a suitable candidate to join our inpatient orthopaedic team. The role is mainly working with and rehabilitating patients who suffer traumatic musculoskeletal injuries causing fractures.

There will be opportunity for inpatient orthopaedic weekend work on a voluntary basis. However, the job description now includes a 7 day working note as the service may be consulted on to cover weekends as part of its remit.
We can offer you:
An excellent working environment in a newly built hospital

A positive and well-established appraisal and development system
Encouragement to develop clinical skills
Clinical leadership is through the established structure of Senior and Superintendent Physiotherapists.
