If you are a skilled MSK physiotherapist, with excellent person-centred planning experience and strong local knowledge for accessing key support, then we would love to hear from you.

The ideal applicant will have had the following skills, experience and qualifications:

• Experience of working in an NHS or social care organisation.
• Passed training requirements as outlined by the Personalised Care Institute (or be prepared to enrol and complete next available course)
• Previous experience of working in a customer-focused environment
• Previous experience of working towards targets/deadlines
• Access to own transport and/or ability to travel across the locality on a regular basis, including to visit people in their own home.
• Strong listening and communication skills.
• Motivated by helping people, with care and empathy.

Some flexibility is required, as you will sometimes need to work alternative hours to cover for colleagues within the PCN.

Green Vale Health Primary Care Network is a newly formed PCN in central Bedfordshire. Our mission is to improve health and care and to meet everyday health and care needs for people by connecting primary care systems and using creative thinking to develop, improve and support great local services.

Our PCN is split over two sites, Flitwick Surgery and Marston Forest Healthcare, both are modern facilities. We have a combined list size of approximately 25,000 patients with some 243 care home beds. We are not one of the larger PCNs, but this smaller patient number allows us to provide first class healthcare and gives us the ability to target diverse healthcare needs.

The sites are only a short distance apart (5 miles) but service the main population areas of Flitwick, Marston Moretaine and Cranfield, as well as several surrounding villages in a rural setting, with Bedford, Milton Keynes and Luton only a few miles away.

Being a newly formed PCN we are looking to recruit staff through the ARRS funding stream to work with our existing staff to further develop the services we can offer our patients. All our vacancies are compliant with the standard NHS terms and conditions of employment, and offer inclusion in the NHS pension scheme. Salaries are dependent on skills and experience, but we would expect them to be within the AfC bandings for the role.
