NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
We have a full time post available within the Angus Physiotherapy Service Outpatient team and are looking for a clinician to join our team.
You will be based within Whitehills Care and Community Centre in Forfar and deal with a mixed caseload of consultant, GP and self referrals from across the Angus area. The workload is mainly adult musculo-skeletal, but all age ranges and conditions are dealt with.
Angus Physiotherapy Service is part of an award winning Tayside wide musculoskeletal team leading the way in service development. Our clinicians are supported in developing the skills required to deliver quality care to our patients. This includes development of injection therapy, radiographic imaging and independent non medical prescribing. Angus Physiotherapy Service has established First Contact clinics across all GP practices in Angus and this post provides support to these clinics.
An active in-service training programme is in place both within the local base and the wider Angus Physiotherapy Service. Personal and Professional Development is structured via the Knowledge and Skills Framework and the appraisal system.

Hours of work are: 37 hours per week (part time hours will be considered)
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.
Short-listed applicants will be contacted by email. Please check your emails regularly, including your junk/spam folder.
