We have an exciting opportunity to recruit to the OT Band 6 rotation to work within the acute services at the Victoria Hospital. We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Occupational Therapist to work alongside colleagues in the Acute Medical OT Team (MOE & Respiratory rotations), the Frailty Team, the Supported Discharge Units, NTC and Hand Therapy and potential of further rotations added within the Victoria Hospital. Rotations will be 9 months in each area. A strong interest in working with a range of conditions (predominantly with patients living with frailty) to develop specialist skills and knowledge to deliver effective evidenced based care, to optimise occupational performance and promote and support safe and timely discharge from hospital, is essential to the role. You will manage your own caseload, participate in multi-agency working and will engage in quality improvement activities both collectively and independently. There is an opportunity to develop additional competencies within Physiotherapy and basic nursing skills to support integrated working. We ask for engagement with weekend working and we support this 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. Within the Frailty Team rotation there is an expectation you will undertake 12.5-hour shift pattern which includes weekends. Please come and join our friendly departments; further to the detail of the role above, you will receive in-service training, regular appraisal and PDP meetings, leadership development opportunities and both peer and management support. Whilst you should have the ability to travel throughout Fife effectively in a timely manner, the VHK is commutable from Lothian, Forth Valley, Dundee and Perth and car share amongst colleagues is often available. For informal enquiries, please contact Lorna Brocklesby, OT Manager on ext 21646. As from 1/4/26, the Agenda for Change full-time working week will be reducing from 37 to 36 hours per week. Part time hours will be reduced pro-rata. However, there will be a corresponding increase in the hourly rate so that pay will not be affected. 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 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. 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.
