Senior Physiotherapist - MSK Alliance

Thank you for your interest in this role, we would be delighted to welcome you to Sherwood Forest Hospitals.

Sherwood is nationally recognised as being an excellent place to work and deliver care. We are rightly proud of the 5,500 colleagues who work here and know that happy colleagues deliver better care.

Our teams work in a supportive, inclusive environment, which nurtures wellbeing and has opportunities for development and progression. We do not just care for our patients, we also care for you.

At Sherwood Forest Hospitals, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. As such, we particularly welcome applications from people who identify as Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, or Disabled. We believe that a diverse team better represents the communities we serve and brings a wealth of perspectives and experiences to our work.

Are you looking to develop your skills within a supportive, forward‑thinking MSK team? This full‑time role offers an excellent opportunity to work within our MSK Alliance, supporting patients referred from primary care — including GP referrals, self‑referrals, and referrals from the MCATs team within the hub.

You will be responsible for the assessment and treatment of patients presenting with a wide range of acute and chronic MSK conditions. The caseload is varied and rewarding, giving you the chance to make a real impact on patient outcomes.

Your work will include:

• One‑to‑one MSK assessments and evidence‑based treatment plans
• Delivering and supporting group sessions held either within the hospital setting or at local leisure centres
• Collaborating closely with the wider MSK Alliance team
• Contributing to service development and high‑quality patient care

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated physiotherapist who is passionate about MSK care and keen to grow within a collaborative, patient‑centred service.

If you’re enthusiastic, committed, and ready to take the next step in your MSK career, we’d love to hear from you.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We believe that we are truly a clinically‑led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS‑run hospital in the East Midlands.
