Are you a newly qualified HCPC registered Physiotherapist or are you a Band 5 who wishes to further develop your clinical knowledge and gain more experience in a well supported environment? If so, then NHS Fife would be delighted to hear from you.
Allowing you time to learn and develop, our rotations are 6 monthly and across a range of specialties. They include trauma and elective orthopaedics in our new purpose-built orthopaedic centre, acute and elderly medicine with access to renal and cardiology, surgical and respiratory care with exposure to ICU & HDU, neurology, paediatrics, community and MSK outpatients. Whilst rotations are structured, an individual’s own learning plan can influence allocation
As services continue to evolve aspects of the rotation do require weekend working and a willingness to support this development further across the rotations is essential, however this is supported with a dynamic approach to work patterns. We consider flexible working, provide hybrid undergraduate placements and we support selective home working for non clinical pieces of work.
Although Fife is a large geographical area the rotations operate across Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline, Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy and Community placements in Central and West Fife. The locations are all commutable from Lothian, Forth Valley, Dundee and Perth and car share amongst colleagues may be available.
Our NHS Fife Physiotherapy strategy 2022 - 2025 has 3 aims; inclusion, excellence and sustainability. Please come and join us.
For informal enquiries, please contact Katrina Marshall, ICASS / WBH Lead Physiotherapist on 01592 648129 ext. 29383.
To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service.
As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the GOV.UK website here.
For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’. Further information on these criteria can be found here.
It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsored BEFORE submitting your application form.
We offer flexible working and family-friendly policies and fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
