NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

As part of a dedicated AHP Therapy team the post holder will be allocated a delegated patient caseload by the qualified AHP and be expected to work independently, assessing the patient’s care needs and/or modifying existing treatment plans and delivering this care without supervision. This includes progressing patients, reassessing and discharging within the scope of practice.

Support qualified AHP staff, by taking an active clinical role within the specialist clinical area as guided by evidence based protocols produced by the registered practitioner.

To support efficient service delivery, the practitioner will delegate tasks to others in the team and maximise the use of technology (e.g. telehealth) and adopt new ways of working.
