Job description

Are you an experienced HCPC registered Musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapist looking for a new or additional role? Have you ever thought about working within a prison environment, helping to rehabilitate and support offenders to live purposeful lives as a member of the community?

This is your opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking, innovative healthcare team, including GPs, nurses, pharmacists, podiatrists, and mental health professionals, delivering high-quality, best-practice treatment. You will also be part of the wider MSK Health in Justice Team, comprising physiotherapists and podiatrists working across immigration centres and prisons nationwide.
