We are recruiting to the MSK Service in Inverness & Ross. This encompasses the Mainstream MSK services as well as First Contact Practice in Primary Care.
50% of this role will be based in the MSK Mainstream services and you will be responsible for delivery of supervision, managing complex cases and working alongside the team lead on service development. The other 50% will be based in primary care as an experienced MSK clinician at the first point of contact with the patient.
As part of the Inverness & Ross team, you will primarily be based in the mid and east Ross area of the Highlands, but the candidate should be willing to travel if support for the wider team is required.
Applications are invited from physiotherapists who have advanced clinical knowledge and expertise in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of MSK conditions. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a high standard of clinical care with previous specialist experience in this field. Injection skills and prescribing are part of this role and you will be expected to work toward completion of both if you do not have the qualification on application.
