An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Physiotherapy Inpatient Team based in Cameron Hospital, Windygates, Fife.
Come and join a very close working and dedicated team of physiotherapists and physiotherapy healthcare clinical support workers (HCSW) to deliver high quality rehabilitation to mostly older patients with a wide range of conditions, with the aim of optimising their physical function.
You will work as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team and you will be expected to carry out ongoing treatment programmes and joint treatments with the physiotherapy staff.
You will have good organisational skills, excellent communication skills and be able to work independently as well as within the team. You will have an SVQ Level III in Health and Social Care or equivalent. Experience working as a physiotherapy or occupational therapy HCSW, and experience working with older people will be very desirable. There may be occasions where you will be required to work in one of the other community hospital sites.
Our service offers regular supervision, personal development plans, and supports training opportunities.
The ability to travel throughout the area is essential.
A requirement of this post is to become a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme Prior to appointment.
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.
