We are looking for someone who would love to develop their skills in rehabilitation – is that you? We can offer you a range of clinical experiences including amputees, frailty, falls and stroke.
We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Physiotherapist with a wide range of clinical experience to join our supportive physiotherapy team in Queen Margaret Hospital, Dunfermline. This inpatient ward based post will be based within our general rehabilitation wards, but there will be an opportunity to develop your skills specifically with the vascular patients within the wards. Through CPD evidence, you should be able to demonstrate experience in working with older adults in a variety of settings, as well as with service development projects.
You must be able to demonstrate a broad range of post graduate experience, including within an NHS setting, and sufficient knowledge and skills to manage a complex caseload.
You may be required to work across West Fife, therefore the ability to travel is essential.
You will be expected to deliver evidence based practice underpinned by your contribution to quality improvement work and in-service training. You will support the clinical supervision and appraisal of more junior staff and be involved in the development of physiotherapy support workers and pre-registration students.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Recruiting Board.
