About the role
This is a new and exciting role that will be integral to the current clinical services provision, and the vision for expansion of services into a brand-new rehabilitation space that will open in the summer. The role will require the individual to lead a range of services for patients focusing on the MSK rehabilitation and FCP services. This is a split role, of rehabilitation, FCP and clinical leadership. This role will need to have a view to growing services for student provision and experience and within the commercial sector as well as leading an NHS contract for FCP. Ensuring a person-centred approach is vital whilst contributing to the health and well-being agenda and being flexible to meet demands of cross site-working and some extension of hours to meet primary care needs expected. Opportunities to contribute to the academic teaching and research side of the organisation will be encouraged. This role will come with the opportunity to complete FCP training within the organisation, fully supported through a PG Cert in FCP that AECC has been awarded to provide.
