We are hiring a part-time Physiotherapist for our weekend clinics. You will see patients on Saturday and Sunday mornings, working with our Clinical Lead, a sports and exercise medicine doctor, and handing over to the full-time physiotherapist so that every patient's rehabilitation continues seamlessly through the week. The role is 6 hours a week, on weekends only, paid per hour. It suits a physiotherapist, newly qualified or experienced, who wants regular weekend sessions alongside study, another role or other commitments.
What you will do
1. Weekend clinics
- Assess and treat patients with musculoskeletal and sports conditions during the Saturday and Sunday morning clinics, whether referred by the doctor or booked directly.
- Deliver evidence-based treatment centred on exercise therapy and education, supported by manual therapy, joint mobilisation, taping and, where you are trained, dry needling.
- Recognise red flags and presentations that need medical review, and escalate them to the doctor promptly.
2. Continuity of care
- Continue and progress the rehabilitation plans set by the full-time physiotherapist, and agree any changes with them.
- Write clear handover notes after each session so care continues seamlessly through the week.
- Prescribe and update home exercise programmes using the clinic's patient exercise sheets and videos.
3. Modalities, records and governance
- Deliver shockwave (ESWT), EMTT, TENS and cryotherapy sessions under the clinic's protocols, with training provided on the clinic's equipment.
- Keep clear, timely clinical records on the clinic system (Plato), including consent and outcome measures, in line with AHPC standards and the PDPA.
Conditions you will treat
You will need good working knowledge of the assessment, conservative management and rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal conditions our patients present with, and the judgement to recognise red flags and refer back to the doctor. These include:
- Spine: non-specific low back pain, sciatica and lumbar radiculopathy, disc-related pain, neck pain, cervical radiculopathy, cervicogenic headache and postural or desk-related pain.
- Shoulder: rotator cuff tendinopathy and tears, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), subacromial pain and impingement, calcific tendinopathy, shoulder instability and AC joint injuries.
- Elbow, wrist and hand: lateral and medial elbow tendinopathy (tennis and golfer's elbow), De Quervain's tenosynovitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger and hand osteoarthritis.
- Hip and knee: hip and knee osteoarthritis, greater trochanteric pain syndrome, patellofemoral pain, patellar tendinopathy, meniscal injuries, ACL injury and rehabilitation, and IT band syndrome.
- Foot and ankle: plantar fasciitis (plantar heel pain), Achilles tendinopathy, ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability, and tibialis posterior tendinopathy.
- Across the body: sports and overuse injuries, return-to-sport progressions, post-injection and post-shockwave rehabilitation, deconditioning, falls risk and strength loss in older adults, and chronic pain that needs a graded, education-led approach.
- Follow infection control, incident reporting and clinic SOPs
What we are looking for
Essential
- A recognised physiotherapy qualification: a degree or diploma in physiotherapy from a local Singapore institution, or an overseas physiotherapy qualification recognised by the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC).
- Registration with the AHPC as a physiotherapist, with a current practising certificate that you keep valid throughout your employment. Overseas-trained physiotherapists must hold, or be eligible for, AHPC registration before starting.
- New graduates are welcome to apply. You will be supported by the Clinical Lead doctor and structured clinical supervision in your first months.
- Good knowledge of the conditions listed above, with sound clinical reasoning, red-flag screening and evidence-based exercise prescription.
- Available on Saturday and Sunday mornings on a regular basis.
- Valid BCLS and AED certification (we will sponsor this if you do not hold it).
- Fluent written and spoken English, with clear, accurate documentation and handover notes.
