Job summary
We have an exciting opportunity for a Static Band 5 Physiotherapist to work in a split role at Evesham Community hospital and the Princess of Wales hospital. The successful applicant will be at the forefront of expert clinical practice and the transformation of services in a beautiful riverside town, in the local community hospitals, nestled in the Vale of Evesham and in Bromsgrove.
This is a full time, one year static position in the field of musculoskeletal practice, which will serve as an ideal foundation for anyone wanting to progress their skills in this area. Support will be provided within the local team, which includes Advanced Practitioners, Clinical Leader and a First Contact Practitioner. Support will also be accessible from other band 5s already based within the trust. A key role will involve lending support to our well-developed Practice Based learning for the students from the University of Worcester.
You can expect personal and professional development on a daily ad hoc basis and through a formal 5 weekly in-service training and clinical supervision programme. The Trust provides a structure offering career mobility, coaching and/or mentoring.
Main duties of the job
The role will involve patient assessment and delivery of physiotherapy interventions to the adult population of Worcestershire within a busy OP department based in the local community hospital.
You will be required to assess, treat and manage a very varied caseload of patients as we receive referrals from GPs, the acute sector of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire and self-referrals. This will include patients with acute conditions such as fractures and post-surgery, alongside more longstanding MSK conditions such as LBP, OA and tendinopathies.
We would expect you to contribute to high quality, patient-centred care using evidence-based knowledge and skill. There will also be an opportunity to assist with service development and to teach and supervise other clinicians and students and help to shape the future service delivery and workforce.

About the company
National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
