Highgate, London, N6 4DJ | Outpatients Physiotherapy | Fixed Term until 31st December 2026 | Full time| 37.5hours

We offer flexible working, including the option to work four longer days per week, allowing you to focus on delivering excellent patient care while maintaining a good work–life balance.

As a Senior Physiotherapist at Nuffield Health Highgate Hospital, you will hold a BSc in Physiotherapy and be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP). You will have strong outpatient physiotherapy experience and be confident managing a varied caseload, with the main focus on postoperative orthopaedic rehabilitation alongside a smaller proportion of general musculoskeletal conditions. Experience in hand therapy would be desirable to support the development of this area of the service.

This role will also require you to take ownership of the outpatient physiotherapy service, contributing to service development, governance and pathway improvement. Within a small team, you will support the development of junior staff and contribute to the department’s learning culture through activities such as delivering CPD presentations and helping to shape best clinical practice.

As a Senior Outpatient Physiotherapist, you will:

• Work within our Outpatient Physiotherapy Service managing a range of post-operative orthopaedic cases, supporting patients through their rehabilitation and recovery
• Be part of a multidisciplinary team working closely with nurses, allied health professionals and leading orthopaedic consultants
• Support patients to achieve, maintain and recover to their desired level of health and wellbeing through evidence-based physiotherapy practice
• Deliver clinical care that is safe, effective, compassionate and responsive to individual patient needs
• Maintain compliance with governance standards and actively participate in clinical audit and quality improvement processes

Supporting your growth.

Be part of a growing nationwide network of physiotherapists and join the second largest employer of physiotherapists outside of the NHS. At Nuffield Health Highgate Hospital, you will work in a fantastic clinical environment with opportunities to develop your practice across both ward and outpatient settings, contribute to governance and service development, and support patient education programmes such as Joint School. You will benefit from regular local CPD sessions and monthly physiotherapy network meetings, while working closely with some of the leading orthopaedic consultants in North London. As part of a national physiotherapy network, there are also career development opportunities to progress into Advanced Level Practitioner (ALP) roles or to work within Nuffield Health’s gym and wellbeing centres.
