We are offering a rare and exciting career opportunity for an AHP Support Worker to join our Burns and Plastics Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Team. You will work within a well-established multidisciplinary team providing clinical and administrative services to the burns and plastics in and out-patients. You will assist Clinical Specialist therapists in ensuring the timeous and efficient provision of patient care within the wards, out patients and within the patient’s home delivering and assessing equipment under the supervision of the therapist. You will have the opportunity to have your own patient workload working independently and assisting therapists daily in the provision of high quality patient care. You will be expected to use initiative and deal with patient queries and general departmental issues via telephone and emails. Your role will undertake a good balance of direct patient care and administration, e.g., ordering equipment and auditing numbers each month.

The AHP Support Worker role within this is paramount to its smooth running. This will also be a post where you will be able to evolve your audit skills and develop service improvement ideas.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
