Summary
We now have a number of exciting opportunities to recruit to our MSK specialist outpatient physiotherapy service, at East Sussex NHS Healthcare Trust.
We are looking for enthusiastic and highly motivated physiotherapists keen to develop their MSK skills, to recruit into permanent Band 6 roles across our East and West Rotations. Consideration will also be given to permanent Band 5 to 6 annexe 21 developer roles, dependant on individual MSK experience and professional qualification.
We deliver integrated musculoskeletal services in the Hastings and Rother localities, alongside service delivery in the High Wealds, Eastbourne and Hailsham areas, working with the Sussex MSK Partnership.
