Are you a newly qualified Physiotherapist looking to build a career in private MSK practice?

Lyfe Health is looking for an ambitious Graduate MSK Physiotherapist to join our multidisciplinary team at our modern health and wellbeing centre in Temple Quay, Bristol.

This is a genuine development opportunity. You'll build a varied private MSK caseload while receiving structured mentoring, clinical supervision and hands-on support from experienced Senior and Consultant Physiotherapists.

Our goal is simple: to help you become a confident, capable MSK clinician while building a long-term career in private practice.

What you'll do

You'll:

• Assess and treat a varied private MSK caseload
• Understand each client's goals and develop individualised treatment plans
• Deliver evidence-based treatment, education and rehabilitation
• Use objective assessment and reassessment to demonstrate progress
• Progress rehabilitation programmes and support clients to achieve meaningful outcomes
• Manage clients from initial assessment through to discharge
• Build strong, trusted relationships with clients
• Maintain accurate clinical records
• Participate in clinical supervision, case reviews and training
• Work collaboratively with the wider multidisciplinary team
• Refer appropriately and recommend other services when they genuinely benefit the client

Your caseload and level of autonomy will grow as your clinical skills develop.
