Lister House Surgery PCCO PCN First Contact Physiotherapist
The closing date is 18 September 2026
Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a first contact physiotherapist practitioner to join our forward-thinking, multidisciplinary team and support PCCO Primary Care Network.
We have a well-developed MSK team, comprised of three GPs with a specialist interest in MSK and three senior physiotherapists. The post holder will manage a complex caseload of patients, working independently to assess, diagnose and manage patient's musculoskeletal problems.
This physiotherapist will be given the opportunity to become an advanced practitioner using their own special interests, a clinical case load and being hands on in group work.

You will also receive referrals from other PCN and practice members to provide 1-2-1 support to patients who require an MSK assessment.
You will have access to clinical supervision from one of our Clinical Directors and support from the rest of our PCN and practice teams. You will work closely with GPs, community services, the city MSK service, EMAS, Social Care, Practice staff and wider MDTs.
Main duties of the job
