Position: Full-time
Our client is an established physiotherapy provider with clinics and partner locations across Northern Ireland. They are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Senior MSK Physiotherapist to join their growing clinical team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced MSK clinician who enjoys combining hands-on treatment with progressive rehabilitation and who is keen to continue developing their clinical skills.

The Role

Alongside your own caseload, there will be opportunities to contribute to the wider development of the clinical team. This may include supporting junior and less experienced physiotherapists, contributing to in-service training, sharing clinical knowledge and helping promote consistent clinical standards.

- Work independently at partner locations and across clinic settings
- Share clinical knowledge and support colleagues where appropriate
- Contribute to mentoring, case discussions and in-service training
- Assist with the development of junior and newly qualified physiotherapists
- Contribute to clinical audits, reflective practice and continuous improvement
- Help maintain consistently high standards of patient care across the wider clinical team

- The ability to work confidently both independently and as part of a wider team
- Excellent communication and organisational skills
- A patient-centred approach and genuine commitment to achieving excellent outcomes
- A desire to continue developing clinically and professionally

Candidates with more advanced clinical experience and previous mentoring, supervision or clinical leadership experience will also be considered, with scope to take on additional responsibilities within the team.
