Band 6
2 x posts 36 hours per week
An exciting opportunity has arisen for two Band 6 Physiotherapists to join the existing teams within the Central and North MSK Outpatient Services in Aberdeenshire.
The Central position will be based at Inverurie Hospital, with the North position based across Peterhead and Fraserburgh. Both posts will be supported by our friendly and approachable team of Band 7 Highly Specialist and Band 8 Advanced Practice MSK Physiotherapists. The departments have close links with local Medical Practices, First Contact Physiotherapy (FCP) services and leisure centres. MSK Outpatients are co-located with Community and Inpatient Physiotherapy services, supporting strong multidisciplinary and cross-service working relationships.
Whilst successful candidates will be appointed to a base within the North or Central locality, the service operates across a wider geographical area and there may be a requirement for staff to work across bases within their designated locality in response to service demand and workforce requirements.
The post holders will have the opportunity to manage a varied MSK caseload and will be responsible for delivering both individual and group treatment sessions. Working within the teams, they will also contribute to the supervision and education of rotational Band 5 Physiotherapists, Healthcare Support Workers and students.
The Aberdeenshire MSK Physiotherapy team is an extremely dynamic and inclusive group to work within and offers a fantastic setting to develop your skills in a safe and supportive environment. We pride ourselves on our approachability, clinical excellence, supportive practice and commitment to work-life balance. We maintain an active CPD programmes, regular in-person locality meetings and social activities. We look forward to receiving applications from passionate MSK Physiotherapists who wish to join our team.
