Static MSK Physiotherapist Fife
Job description
Are you a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Physiotherapist or about to be registered?
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 come to Fife to join our team.
Your clinical caseload will be varied, ranging from MSK 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 from your Band 5 starting point. Right from the start, we support and develop you with the needs of the Service and your own career goals in mind. We 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 easy access to a wide range of senior clinicians and leaders who will listen to your ideas as well as share their planning whilst continuing to nurture your development. Clinical and non-clinical time is generously balanced.
We have progressive Band 6 clinical posts in MSK and rehabilitation and also roles working alongside ED, Minor Injuries Unit and orthopaedics clinics. We encourage exposure to clinical areas in preparation for your further career aspirations and also have pathways to orthopaedics, GP and MSK Band 7 and 8 clinical and leadership positions. We have a specific Education Physiotherapy Lead and are looking at other expansive roles in health promotion, e-health and recruitment.
Flexibility in outlook and mindset to travel around the Fife area is required depending on the need. Roles will be solely within the MSK speciality. If you have a passion for MSK or think it may be growing on you, if you have done MSK in the past and wish to return or if you see MSK as a springboard to your further development then we are keen to speak to you.
Musculoskeletal experience at undergraduate level is great, as is any experience post graduate in MSK or wider physiotherapy. What we seek is your motivation, commitment, willingness to learn and be an active part of the team. An architect for the future.
