Secure environments are one of the most challenging but rewarding places for healthcare practitioners to work.

• Promote best practice, evidence-based care and continuous quality improvement embedding a culture of reflection and shared learning.
• Share knowledge, skills and expertise to ensure safe care supporting your clinical and non-clinical colleagues to do a great job.
• Be responsible for your own caseload and waiting list and be able to work as an autonomous practitioner.
• You will be closely supported and mentored by our Clinical Lead, and this combined with our well-developed appraisal system, in-service training and funding for external clinical courses, you will be provided with an excellent supportive learning environment to continue your professional development.

What we'll look for in you

• As a HCPC registered physiotherapist, with proven post- registration experience of assessing and treating MSK conditions in an outpatient setting, you will also have:
• Experience in assessing and treating some complex and/or chronic presentations.
• Demonstrable advanced MSK diagnostic and treatment skills
• Ability to work within the MDT and maintain records as an autonomous practitioner
