Job description
Job summary
We are looking for an experienced part-time Physiotherapist to work in GP Practices across Long Lane PCN in Hayes as an MSK First Contact Physio for 25 hours per week on a 12 month fixed term contract. This exciting new role (Band 7) will be joining a growing team that includes Clinical Pharmacists and Social Prescribing Link Workers.

  • The Pine Medical Centre
  • Willow Tree Surgery
  • Yeading Court

The successful candidate will have experience of initial assessments and creating treatment plans. One of our priority focus areas will be around frailty and prevention of falls. Experience in this area would be an advantage.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will:
  • Provide clinical expertise, acting as first-contact physiotherapist and making decisions about the best course of action for patients' care (including in relation to undifferentiated conditions). This will involve seeing patients, without prior contact with their GP, in order to establish a rapid and accurate diagnosis and management plan.

  • Deliver programmes of supported patient self-management, in ways that facilitate behavioural change, optimise individuals' physical activity, mobility, fulfilment of personal goals and independence, and that minimise the need for pharmacological interventions.
