Job summary

Come and join our outpatient Physiotherapy team in Solihull Community MSK Services. We believe now is an exciting time to be part of a Community MSK Service, with multiple opportunities to provide outstanding and individualised care to patients within the community in which they live. We are a friendly and welcoming team and are passionate about providing high quality care through Evidence Based learning. In addition, we believe in maximising the potential of each member of the team based on their individual needs, and alongside National agendas such as FCP. As part of our service we run a 'Breaking Down Barriers to Exercise' service, an OA Knee off-loader brace clinic, a range of classes and injection clinics.
