In-House Physiotherapist – Strategy & Subject Matter Expert (SME)
No. of Positions Open: 1
About the role
You will be the in-house clinical voice for Frido's strategy and SME work, turning physiotherapy practice into assessment flows, exercise content and service protocols that the product, R&D and retail teams can ship.
What you will do
- Review and sign off clinical content such as the exercise repository and the Ergo Workspace Assessment flow, or other services created
- Define how physios in stores and on home visits should assess, recommend and document
- Help train and onboard new physios as Frido Care scales
What we look for
| Competency | Must have | Good to have |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical depth | BPT or MPT, with musculoskeletal and posture experience. | Being a qualified ergonomist, or ergonomics and workplace-health exposure. |
| Exercise expertise | Real depth in therapeutic exercise: prescribing it, progressing and regressing it for actual patients, and able to say why each movement is in the programme. We are building around this, so it is not a side skill here. | You have built an exercise library or a programme that somebody else then delivered. |
| Turning practice into protocol | You can write clear, step-by-step assessment and exercise protocols. | You have built content for an app or a digital service. |
| Cross-functional communication | You explain clinical reasoning to people who are not clinicians. | Comfortable presenting to leadership. |
| Appetite for building | You want to build something, not run a rota. Comfortable with the pace, the gaps and the unfinished edges of a startup. | You have built a practice, a service or a product of your own. A physiopreneur would be ideal. |
Who we will hire
- 2–3 years of professional experience in physiotherapy
- You have treated or given physiotherapy consultations to at least 500–1,000 patients
- Strong clinical knowledge and practical experience in patient assessment, treatment planning and rehabilitation
- The ability to contribute clinical expertise to strategy, product insights and customer education
- Excellent communication, and the ability to turn clinical knowledge into practical recommendations for Frido Care

The assignment
Write a one-to-two page workspace assessment protocol for a desk worker with recurring lower-back and neck pain. Include the questions you would ask, the 5 observations you would make, 4 exercises with cues and when not to do them, and when you would refer the person to a doctor. Add a short note on how a non-clinician product team should use it.
The scope is wider than the time you have, so do the parts you think matter most and say what you left out. We learn more from what you choose to do first than from whether you finished.
