Our integrated MSK Service provides First Contact Practitioners to the Calderdale PCNs and the post holder will be expected to undertake some hours in an FCP capacity as part of their job plan.

We seek an individual who is proactive, well organised and with strong communication and problem-solving skills. CHFT will offer support for training and development as required for this post.

We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.

Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
