Job overview
Due to continued demand for MSK First Contact Physiotherapists within our local Primary Care Networks, we are pleased to advertise for further FCP clinicians to join our expanding MSK service.
Successful candidates will work within a Primary care setting, managing patients at the start of the MSK pathway and embedding the FCP role within your Primary care practices, while remaining fully integrated with our wider MSK service.
You will join our diverse group of FCPs working across York and the wider area. We organize weekly Clinical Governance sessions and provide ongoing clinical and personal support, including Complex Case Discussions, Critical Appraisal Club, Peer Supervision, Live Supervision, Radiology MDT, and IST sessions.
We collaborate with various local PCNs in areas like South Hambleton, Ryedale, Tadcaster, Selby, and York. We currently have a vacancy in Selby Town, but opportunities in other areas can be discussed with the recruiting manager.
Applicants should be working as Specialist MSK Physiotherapists at Band 6 or Band 7 level or above, with a focus on patient-centered care and education at the start of MSK pathways.
We look forward to your application!
Main duties

As a First Contact Practitioner, you will be the first point of contact for GP and MSK patients streamed directly to the FCP clinic.
You will provide expert screening, assessment, diagnosis, and management of MSK conditions, supporting patients to self-manage or directing them to appropriate pathways.
You will become fully integrated into your PCN and work as a key team member.
Training and governance will be provided weekly, including opportunities to complete a PGCert in MSK practice, aligned with the HEE FCP roadmap, offering professional development within a large MSK Physiotherapy department.
