at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust Manchester in Manchester (Published at 21-12-2023)

We are Manchester Local Care Organisation - an exciting, new public sector organisation that is bringing together NHS community health services and social care services in the city.

MSK Physiotherapy Administrator and Physiotherapy Assistant

We are seeking a highly motivated and organised individual to join our MSK Physiotherapy Administration Team. This full-time role will help the team manage the large number of referrals we receive into the service. It will involve telephone contact with patients, booking appointments on computer-based systems, sending patient letters and the management of waiting lists.

This workload underpins the MSK Physiotherapy service and is fundamental in allowing our clinicians to provide the highest standards of care. Consequently, candidates will require excellent communication skills, experience working on relevant computer systems and have outstanding organisational and time management skills.

The successful applicant will also support clinical staff to deliver online and face-to-face group-based education and exercise programs, such as the Back To Fitness and Back Wise groups; this will include referral management and delivering education and exercise therapy, under the direction of qualified physiotherapists. Whilst these classes are currently run online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the longer-term plan is to return to conducting them in person.

  • To support MSK Physiotherapy staff with delivering management plans for patients with musculoskeletal conditions, through online and face-to-face individual and group-based sessions.
