Job overview
This is a unique opportunity to work within DCHS Physio, MSK and FCP Out-Patients Services.
The post would be suitable for an experienced musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapist who meet the standards of the HEE FCP roadmap to join our established Outpatient Physiotherapy and Musculoskeletal Services across Derbyshire.
We will also consider applicants wishing to apply for a Development 6-7 post. This will be facilitated by a well structured and band specific competency framework; including both formal and informal 1:1 and peer supervision.
The upgrade to Band 7 will happen when competencies are successfully completed.
DCHS was one of the first providers in the country to implement an FCP service as part of the national pilot with NHS England and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and continues to work closely with regional and national teams of both organisations to deliver an integrated service that provides accessible and responsive care to meet the needs of patients, GPs and the wider system.
We currently have opportunities to work within South Derbyshire, Amber Valley and Erewash; both of which offer an easy commute from neighbouring counties.
Full time and part time hours will be considered. Various hours are available to support flexible working.
