AddressWe’ve got an opening for a curious, adventurous, Full Time musculoskeletal/Orthopaedic Physiotherapist, in our private clinic in the heart of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
You’ll be working in a clinic which opened 16 years ago, and services people from all over the world, including a large local Emirati base. The majority of our patient base are young, active and interesting patients, willing to get involved in their treatment, because that’s the way we’ve trained them!
Our Physio led clinic maintains and ensures high standards of treatment, of which we are known for, and proud of. No electro here - we use education, manual and exercise therapy to deliver the highest quality care, keeping ourselves up to date, and our patients very happy!
We are looking to hire a Full Time Physiotherapist. You will supported by two senior physiotherapists and one more junior physiotherapist. As mentioned above, our patients are young, active, interested and wanting results. They need plenty of education to understand, and you would be expected to provide this. Most patients will be musculoskeletal in nature – from sports injuries, post surgical, and day to day pains.
You will have to have excellent subjective and objective assessment skills to diagnose appropriately, and refer on when necessary - the medical system in UAE is still young, which can lead to errors for patients.
You’re treatment will need to fit with the ethos of the clinic –
- Manual therapy – inclusive of DDN
- Education and communication
- Exercise therapy
We also encourage goal setting for the patient – it doesn’t have to be strict, but you should both be on the same page when it comes to treatment and outcomes!
The role will require you to be independent with your caseload, but we will not leave you alone to struggle. We encourage collaboration with other physiotherapists when its needed, and other professionals as is appropriate.
We run regular education sessions within the clinic, and you will be required to get involved, as well as complete the regulatory CPD.
Dubai is a city that uses ‘Word of Mouth’ more than formal advertising to do business. You will need to get out and about in the community to meet people/doctors/future patients/referees to help build your caseload. Joining a sports club, business club or a social club will be a huge benefit to you!
