Job Advert

These two positions within the Surgical Physiotherapy service at University Hospital Hairmyres represent a fantastic opportunity to join a high performing team. The Surgical Physiotherapy team covers Critical Care, a new Enhanced Care Area, General Surgery, Vascular and Amputee Out-patients. The team focus is on quality service delivery with a service improvement approach.

With the vascular redesign of the South West Scotland Vascular Network, UHH will become the centre of vascular in-patient care. As such, one of these posts will have primary assignment to Critical Care/Surgical and the other post to Vascular. Both posts will flex across all clinical areas. The roles require an enthusiastic and forward thinking individual with a solid foundation of clinical experience in either Surgical and/or Vascular specialties.

As a physiotherapist in NHS Lanarkshire, our commitment to you is that we will provide the experience, support and opportunity to develop the high quality knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to deliver our organisational vision of world-leading, high-quality, innovative health and social care that is person-centred.
