A recent service re-design has provided the opportunity to create a new B4 Physiotherapy post based within our Kirkcaldy Intermediate Care Team within ICASS, under the Fife Health and Social Care Partnership.
As services increasingly move from the acute setting to community and patients are discharged earlier from hospital, there is an ever increasing role for Physiotherapy Rehabilitation within the community setting.
Our team plays an essential role in preventing both admission to hospital and early supported discharge through our ability to support daily and non daily interventions, falls pathway and generalised rehabilitation for patients with wide ranging conditions including neurological, medical, orthopaedic and musculoskeletal disorders.
You will be supported through competencies to provide physiotherapy based assessment and rehabilitation interventions for patients in a domiciliary setting. You will work closely alongside our Occupational Therapy colleagues and wider multidisciplinary teams within ICASS and wider community services, delivering quality services focusing on patient’s personal outcomes.
The Physiotherapy service is involved in several local and national initiatives and promotes lifelong learning through a variety of PDP/CPD opportunities, supervision and mentorship.
Rehabilitation experience with older adults within NHS and SVQ 3 is essential.
The ability to travel throughout the area is also essential as this is a community post.
Interviews for the post will be held in person as there will be a practical element involved in the interview process.
For informal enquiries, please contact Katrina Marshall, Team Lead Physiotherapist on 01592 648 129 / katrina.marshall3@nhs.scot.
NHS Fife is legally obliged to ensure all its employees are legally entitled to work in the United Kingdom. If you are not a United Kingdom (UK) or Irish National, you are required to confirm your right to work in your application.
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 foundhere.
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 sponsoredBEFORE submitting your application form.
Due to legislative changes from 1 April 2025, this post may require a different level of criminal records check done than is currently the case. If the post is assessed as a "regulated role", your appointment will be subject to joining the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. If there is any change to what is currently required, this will be confirmed by either the Hiring Manager or the Recruitment Team. For more details on these changes please visit: Disclosure Scotland Changes.
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.
