Are you a committed physiotherapist with the skills and motivation to join our friendly, forward looking, Physiotherapy Service?
The Physiotherapy team are seeking a dynamic and motivated Physiotherapist to join our service. This post works in conjunction with the multidisciplinary Ageing Well Service and wider adult Physiotherapy Team, to support older adults in Orkney maximise their health and wellbeing. Applicants will have experience in providing Physiotherapy assessment and intervention with placement and or work experience in care of older people.
Effective communication, organisational and time management skills are essential as well as the ability to work independently and as part of a team. In return we can offer you the opportunity to work in a small dynamic team where you are able to influence service change and improvement, access a regular CPD training programme and where multi-disciplinary working is prioritised. We offer the opportunity for job shadowing to enable development in other areas of the Adult Physiotherapy Service.
As a member of the Physiotherapy Department there will be an expectation to participate in the weekend on call service for respiratory patients within the Hospital setting only.
