Job summary
We are looking to recruit a First Contact Physiotherapist to join our established and experienced team in Liverpool. This is a part-time role, initially 3.5 days per week based across different sites each day. For those who are interested in extra hours, there may be the opportunity to work additional days in the local area.

Are you ready to transform MSK care at the frontline of Promni Health?

Do you want to:

• Work for the only MSK organisation in the UK certified as a Great Place to Work

You will have the opportunity to use or develop advanced skills, including injection therapy and independent prescribing, supported by protected CPD time and structured supervision.
