Specialist Physiotherapist – Pelvic Health

Our small, friendly team is seeking a dynamic and enthusiastic Physiotherapist who, whilst having broad postgraduate experience, is able to demonstrate knowledge, skills and an enthusiasm to develop within the diverse field of pelvic health including continence, prolapse, antenatal care, postnatal rehabilitation and pelvic pain. Candidates without specific pelvic health experience, but who can demonstrate a keen interest in the area, could be considered for in-house training and funded external training. You must have knowledge of common pelvic floor conditions and be able to demonstrate initiative, excellent communication and advanced clinical reasoning skills. The post remit includes participation in clinical audit, in-service training, service improvement projects and undergraduate student education. You will also be required to deputise for senior staff and be involved in teaching and appraisals of junior staff, healthcare support workers and undergraduates as required. We offer development opportunities in-house in the form of clinic and theatre visits, peer review and clinical supervision/teaching. NHS Fife will consider flexible working requests and is able to provide funding for external courses. We enjoy excellent relationships with colleagues in maternity services, gynaecology, urology, pain clinic, paediatrics and dermatology which further adds to the diversity of our workload and provides additional learning opportunities. The post is based at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy but may include frequent cover at Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline. You will need to be prepared to travel to both sites. A requirement of this post is to become a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme prior to appointment. For informal enquiries or to arrange a visit to the Department, please contact Kimberley Sinclair, Pelvic Health Team Lead Physiotherapist on 01592 643355 ext 28106.
