Advanced Practitioner Physiotherapist, Digital Health

Are you a Physiotherapist looking for something different to develop and progress your career? Do you have an enthusiasm to develop digitally enhanced Physiotherapy Services? Are you an individual with a growth mindset and passion for physiotherapy? In keeping with this ethos, the Service has developed a new and exciting Advanced Practice Digital Health Leadership role. This particular post focuses on the leadership and delivery of digital innovation within the Service and the related development of staff within the Physiotherapy Team. You will have the vision to support and create a new digital future, whilst combining this with Advanced Practice Physiotherapy skills, as the post holder will also carry a clinical caseload at Advance Practice level. You will be actively involved in planning and implementing digital solutions alongside the Physiotherapy Senior Leadership Team and wider organisational stakeholders. We are therefore seeking an individual with an excellent knowledge base and experience regarding the understanding and implementation of digital solutions in physiotherapy and wider healthcare. The role will also require expertise at a highly specialist or advanced level in the management of musculoskeletal physiotherapy conditions, combined with competence in quality improvement, the ability to support students and junior staff, and evidence of effective professional leadership. The clinical and non-clinical balance will be generous and flexible. You will be supported and receive guidance from the Consultant Physiotherapist, Advanced Practice, and other Lead Physiotherapists. As a Service, we are a motivated, cohesive team, and have a transformative communication approach. We would welcome likeminded people to come and join us and it would be great to speak to you. For informal enquiries, please contact Mr. Grant Syme, Consultant Physiotherapist - grant.syme1@nhs.scot or Mark Fargie, Lead Advanced Practice Physiotherapist - mark.fargie@nhs.scot. A requirement of this post is to become a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme prior to appointment. 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. 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. NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
