Job Advert
Are you a newly qualified HCPC registered Physiotherapist or are you a Band 5 who wishes to further develop your clinical knowledge and gain more experience in a well supported environment? If so, then NHS Fife would be delighted to hear from you.
Allowing you time to learn and develop, our rotations are 6 monthly and across a range of specialties. They include trauma and elective orthopaedics in our new purpose built orthopaedic centre, acute and elderly medicine with access to renal and cardiology, surgical respiratory care with exposure to ICU & HDU, neurology, paediatrics, community and MSK outpatients. Whilst rotations are structured, an individual’s own learning plan can influence allocation.
As we progress with extending 5 out of 7 day working, a willingness to weekend working is essential, however this is supported with a dynamic approach to work patterns. We consider flexible working, provide hybrid undergraduate placements and we support selective home working for non clinical pieces of work.
Although Fife is a large geographical area the rotations operate across Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline, Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy and Community placements in Central and West Fife. The locations are all commutable from Lothian, Forth Valley, Dundee and Perth and car share amongst colleagues is often available.
Our NHS Fife Physiotherapy strategy 2022 - 2025 has 3 aims; inclusion, excellence and sustainability. Please come and join us.
