Are you a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered physiotherapist with clinical mileage, who is ready for a new horizon? Are you interested in personal and professional development in musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapy? NHS Fife MSK Physiotherapy Service could be the place for you. We currently seek physiotherapists like you to join our team. Your clinical caseload will be varied, ranging from musculoskeletal and orthopaedic post-operative patients, Minor Injuries Unit and Emergency Department (ED) referrals to the MSK management of patients with longer term rehabilitation needs. There are opportunities for you to grow and develop along a number of career pathways. Right from the start we will support and develop you with the needs of the service and your own career goals in mind, and encourage learning alongside the four pillars of practice with roles in education, research, clinical and service leadership. You will have a mentor and a supervisor and great access to a wide range of senior clinicians and leaders who will listen to your ideas, involve you in service planning and nurture your development. Clinical and non clinical time is generously balanced. Our Band 6 clinical posts are progressive and offer MSK and rehabilitation, working alongside primary care, ED and orthopaedics clinics. We encourage exposure to clinical areas in preparation for your further career aspirations and have pathways to orthopaedics, GP and MSK Band 7 and Band 8 clinical and leadership positions. Everything you will need to grow your career is under “one roof”. We have a specific Education Lead and are looking at other expansive roles such as in health promotion, ehealth and recruitment. We work closely with wider physiotherapy colleagues, Allied Health Professions (AHPs), other health care teams, social care and the third sector to provide excellent care to the people of Fife. You will have the opportunity to experience acute service roles, primary care and service development opportunities. We have service bases in the acute hospitals, GP practices and are exploring third sector options e.g. with Fife Sport and Leisure Trust. Flexibility to travel around the Fife area is required depending on Service need. Roles will be solely within the MSK speciality. What we are interested in is your motivation, commitment, willingness to learn, to be an active part of the team, your leadership and to be an architect for the future.

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.
