Band 8a First Contact Physiotherapist, Bristol

Background -

This is a fantastic opportunity to work as a First Contact Physiotherapist within one of the most forward-thinking and leading GP practices in the South West. Experience working within a GP practice before is not required, so if you're currently working within a hospital or community setting then you are encouraged to apply - the surgery already has a track record of training and development and two of its three existing First Contact Physiotherapists came from different backgrounds prior to working at the practice (and are thriving).

If you've not previously worked in a GP surgery - benefits include:
