About Us
Bodysmiths is a private, osteopath-led multidisciplinary health and wellness clinic based in Orpington, with osteopathy and physiotherapy working closely together under one clinical team. We are professional, social and customer-centric, and we're in the middle of an exciting period of growth, with plans in motion to expand what we offer patients over the coming year.
It's a great time to join us, with real scope to grow alongside the clinic and help shape what comes next.
The Candidate
Are you an experienced osteopath ready for more responsibility?
Do you enjoy building strong, lasting relationships with patients?
Are you excited by the idea of helping shape a growing clinical team?
Then this role may be for you.
We're looking for a senior osteopath with 3+ years' post-qualification experience to take over an established patient list from a colleague going on maternity leave. This gives you the immediate benefit of a ready-made caseload rather than starting from scratch, while still leaving room to grow your own list over time.
We'd particularly love to hear from candidates with a special interest or additional qualification in women's health, alongside a sports/remedial massage qualification and acupuncture or dry needling training. These aren't essential, but they'd make you a brilliant fit for the breadth of patients we see.
This role also comes with a genuine development path. For the right candidate, there's the opportunity to move into a Clinical Manager position over time, with training provided directly by our Clinical Director. If you're looking for more than "just" a clinical role, this is a real chance to grow into clinic leadership.

- Conduct thorough osteopathic assessments and develop tailored treatment plans

- Maintain accurate, timely patient records in line with professional standards

- For candidates progressing towards Clinical Manager: support with day-to-day clinical team oversight, standards and mentoring, alongside structured training from the Clinical Director
