Senior MSK Physiotherapist

About the Role

Senior MSK Physiotherapist

Location: Newry, with partner locations
Position: Full-time

Our client is an established physiotherapy provider with clinics and partner locations across Northern Ireland. They are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Senior MSK Physiotherapist to join their growing clinical team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced MSK clinician who enjoys combining hands-on treatment with progressive rehabilitation and who is keen to continue developing their clinical skills. There will also be opportunities to support the development of colleagues through mentoring, training and shared learning.

The Role

You will assess and manage a varied MSK caseload, providing high-quality, individualised treatment and rehabilitation based around each patient's needs and goals.

The clinical approach focuses on three key stages:

• Reduce pain and symptoms
• Restore movement, strength and function
• Return patients to work, sport and everyday life

You will work as part of an experienced clinical team while also having the confidence to work independently at partner locations, including GP surgeries.

Alongside your own caseload, there will be opportunities to contribute to the wider development of the clinical team. This may include supporting junior and less experienced physiotherapists, contributing to in-service training, sharing clinical knowledge and helping promote consistent clinical standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Assess and manage a varied MSK caseload, including more complex presentations
• Deliver high-quality manual therapy and progressive rehabilitation
• Develop individualised treatment plans based on patient needs and goals
• Support patients through the Reduce–Restore–Return pathway
• Plan and progress rehabilitation programmes appropriately
• Support return-to-work, sporting and functional goals
• Maintain accurate clinical records and professional standards
• Work independently at partner locations and across clinic settings
• Share clinical knowledge and support colleagues where appropriate
• Contribute to mentoring, case discussions and in-service training
• Assist with the development of junior and newly qualified physiotherapists
• Contribute to clinical audits, reflective practice and continuous improvement
• Help maintain consistently high standards of patient care across the wider clinical team

About You

We are looking for a confident and motivated physiotherapist with:

• A minimum of 3 years' experience in private MSK practice or a full-time professional sports environment
• Strong MSK assessment and clinical-reasoning skills
• Excellent manual therapy and rehabilitation skills
• Experience managing a varied MSK caseload
• Experience progressing rehabilitation and supporting return-to-sport or return-to-function goals
• The ability to work confidently both independently and as part of a wider team
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• A patient-centred approach and genuine commitment to achieving excellent outcomes
• A desire to continue developing clinically and professionally
• An interest in supporting and mentoring colleagues
• HCPC registration and appropriate professional membership

Candidates with more advanced clinical experience and previous mentoring, supervision or clinical leadership experience will also be considered, with scope to take on additional responsibilities within the team.

What Our Client Offers

• A supportive and experienced clinical team
• A varied private MSK and sports injury caseload
• Structured CPD and professional development
• Regular mentoring, case discussions and in-service training
• Opportunities to support and develop other clinicians
• A positive environment focused on high-quality patient care
• Opportunities for continued clinical and career progression
• The chance to work across established clinics and partner locations
