Consultant MSK Physiotherapist | Cutting-Edge Physiotherapy Centre
Bournemouth
£52,000 + Commission Scheme + Advanced Training + Progression to Consultant Level + Excellent Benefits
Full or Part Time | Permanent | 39 Hours Per Week
A leading private MSK and rehabilitation clinic is looking for an experienced Consultant Physiotherapist to join its multidisciplinary team at its flagship clinic in Bournemouth.
This is an opportunity for an ambitious MSK physiotherapist to take a more senior role in patient care — combining expert assessment and treatment with clinical leadership, rehabilitation planning and long-term patient management.
We’re particularly interested in physiotherapists with 5+ years’ experience in private practice or elite sport, although applications from strong candidates with different backgrounds are welcome.
With multiple clinics across the South and South West, the organisation is renowned for combining elite-level physiotherapy, rehabilitation and performance services with cutting-edge diagnostics and innovative treatment techniques.
The Role
As a Consultant Physiotherapist, you’ll play a key role in shaping the patient journey from initial assessment through to rehabilitation and ongoing MSK health.
We’re looking for someone who is confident taking ownership of a patient’s care — assessing, diagnosing and setting the initial treatment and rehabilitation plan, before working with the wider clinical team to deliver that plan and reviewing progress at key points.
This could suit someone who has previously worked within a professional or elite sporting environment, where they have been responsible for overseeing an athlete’s care, as well as an experienced private-practice physiotherapist with a strong understanding of patient outcomes, communication and continuity of care.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Conducting expert MSK assessments and clinical diagnoses
- Developing comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation plans
- Setting clear care pathways for patients and the wider clinical team
- Reviewing patients at appropriate clinical milestones
- Managing a varied caseload including sports injuries, chronic MSK conditions and performance-related goals
- Working collaboratively with physiotherapists, consultants and rehabilitation specialists
- Supporting patients beyond their immediate injury through long-term MSK health and functional performance
- Contributing to a culture of high-quality clinical care and continuous development
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a physiotherapist who is ambitious for their patients and genuinely believes that good MSK care goes beyond simply treating an injury.
You’ll ideally have:
- 5+ years’ experience in private practice or elite sport
- HCPC registration
- A strong track record in MSK assessment, diagnosis and treatment
- Experience developing and overseeing patient care plans
- Confidence communicating clinical reasoning and rehabilitation plans to patients and colleagues
- A passion for long-term MSK health, rehabilitation and functional performance
- The ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team
- A proactive and ambitious approach to your own clinical development
Injection Therapy experience is desirable but not essential, with training and development opportunities available.
Why Join?
You’ll join an established clinical team currently consisting of 17 physiotherapists and a sports therapist, working collaboratively within a modern multidisciplinary environment.
The organisation invests heavily in its clinicians, with opportunities for fully funded postgraduate training and a clear clinical development pathway.
The package includes:
- £50,000 starting salary, depending on experience
- Uncapped performance bonus and commission structure
- Fully funded postgraduate training opportunities
- SOMM Diploma, MRI training and Injection Therapy development
- Annual training and development budget
- CSP membership paid
- Private medical insurance
- Contractual sick pay
- Up to 33 days’ annual leave
- Pension
- Clear clinical career progression
The Clinic
The centre brings advanced diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation together under one roof, including:
- Onsite open MRI scanner
- HumanTrak 3D movement analysis
- ForceFrame objective strength testing
- Footscan® gait and plantar-pressure analysis
- Custom foot orthotics
- Shockwave therapy
- Fully equipped rehabilitation gym
- Reformer Pilates studio
- Joint and soft-tissue injection services
- Modern treatment rooms
- Onsite health-focused café
- Parking is available at the clinic
