Job Advert
Do you have the skills to work in a busy rehabilitation setting in the wards at Queen Margaret Hospital? Would you like the opportunity to be a part of a supportive team with development opportunities? If so, please read on.
We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Physiotherapist with a wide range of clinical experience to join our physiotherapy team in Queen Margaret Hospital, Dunfermline. The post offers the opportunity to deliver physiotherapy services in a service that covers four inpatient wards and a community health and wellbeing hub. The work will mainly be on the wards, providing physiotherapy for older adults, and adults with frailty. The wards also include a stroke rehabilitation unit, and receive patients on major trauma and vascular pathways from acute hospitals. You may also be required to work in the assessment and rehabilitation centre of the community health and wellbeing hub.
Through CPD evidence, you should be able to demonstrate experience in working with older adults in a variety of settings and have a keen interest in service development and experience. You must be able to demonstrate a broad range of post graduate experience and sufficient knowledge and skills to manage a complex caseload.
There will be an expectation to participate in quality improvement, in-service training, and evidence-based practice. You will support the clinical supervision and appraisals of more junior staff and be involved in the development of physiotherapy assistants and pre-registration students. You may be required to work across West Fife, therefore the ability to travel is essential.
The post was originally a rotational post and if your interest is in gaining experience across several clinical areas between Queen Margaret Hospital and Victoria Hospital, please contact us to inform us of this, otherwise your application will be for this static post.
