Static Band 5 MSK Physiotherapist

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Outpatient Service within Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, with a permanent Band 5 role at Bridgwater Hospital. You will work within a supportive multidisciplinary team including Exercise Instructors, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Enhanced and Advanced Practice clinicians, alongside First Contact Practitioners.

As a Band 5 MSK Physiotherapist, you will deliver high-quality, patient-centred care to a varied outpatient caseload, including orthopaedic, musculoskeletal and sports-related conditions. The role involves assessing patients, using clinical reasoning to diagnose and develop evidence-based treatment plans, and supporting shared decision-making to achieve positive outcomes.

You will manage your own caseload with increasing autonomy while benefiting from structured supervision, peer review and senior clinical support. Development is actively encouraged through CPD, training and service improvement work.

You will also support the development of students, assistants and Exercise Instructors, and work collaboratively with GPs, consultants and wider healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated, high-quality care.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to develop MSK skills within a dynamic, supportive and forward-thinking service.
