Associate Osteopath

Associate Osteopath — MDOsteo Sutton Self-employed | Sutton (SM1) | Flexible days

Are you an osteopath who wants to focus on clinical work? We've spent seven years building the support layer around the treatment room so our practitioners can do what they trained for: see patients, get results, build a book they're proud of.

About us MDOsteo Sutton is our newest clinic in SM1 — a GOsC-registered practice that opened in March 2026 and the third site in our growing South London osteopathy group. Sutton is also home to our dedicated hydrotherapy offering, giving practitioners here a clinical edge you won't find at most osteopathy clinics. We're looking for an associate osteopath to join us as we build the patient base from the ground up.

What you'd actually be doing

• Treating patients at our Sutton clinic — we'll shape the days around your life
• Building genuine patient relationships and treatment journeys — from getting people out of pain through to keeping them well
• Working alongside experienced practitioners across the group who'll share cases, second opinions and skills
• Using shockwave, gait analysis, MSK hydrotherapy, and hands-on osteopathy to deliver outcomes

What we hand you on day one

• A modern practice management system (Cliniko) — no paper diaries, no admin headaches
• A growing patient base in Sutton and the chance to shape it from the early days, with referrals from Aviva, AXA, Cigna, Vitality, WPA, Simply Health, and Health Shield
• Clinical breadth you won't find elsewhere — hydrotherapy alongside shockwave, gait scan, and sports and holistic massage gives you options beyond manual therapy
• CPD support and a peer group of practitioners across the wider MDOsteo group to learn from and lean on
• Room to grow — we're systemising for expansion, with senior and lead clinician opportunities as we open new sites

Who we're looking for You're GOsC-registered with current professional insurance. You believe osteopathy is more than pain relief — that getting someone out of pain is the start of the work, not the end of it.

You take the time to understand what's actually going on with a patient and you build proper treatment plans: relieving the acute presentation first, then working through the underlying causes, then helping patients stay well for the long haul. You see your role as guiding people from "in pain and worried" through to "moving well, feeling resilient, and understanding their own body" — and you're comfortable having the conversations that make that possible.

You communicate clearly with patients about what's wrong, what you can do about it, and what good looks like three, six, twelve months down the line. This is how we practise across the group, and it's the philosophy we've built our systems around. If it's how you practise too, we'll get on.

Newly qualified? We'd love to hear from you — we have experienced practitioners on hand for mentorship and we'll invest in your development.

Experienced? We'd love to hear from you too — Sutton is the newest site, so there's real scope to shape your role here and influence how the clinic develops.
