Exciting Opportunity for an Experienced Physiotherapist
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Physiotherapist to join our Community team in Stewartry. Working within a multidisciplinary setting, you will support people living with frailty to maximise independence and wellbeing, enable early discharge, and help prevent avoidable hospital admissions.
Home Teams
Home Teams are integrated, multidisciplinary groups that work together to support people to achieve their goals and maintain independence at home. They bring together staff from Community Health and Social Care, including Community Nursing, Allied Health Professionals, Patient Flow, Reablement, Adult Social Work, Public Health Improvement and Business Support, creating one coordinated team around the individual.
Role Requirements
We welcome applications from experienced and innovative practitioners with an appetite for service improvement and self-development. Effective communication within and between multidisciplinary teams across community services will be essential to success in this role.
You will deliver specialist assessment, treatment and ongoing management for adults with diverse and often complex needs, contributing to coordinated, person-centred care alongside partners in health, education and social care. You will manage a complex caseload using advanced clinical skills, supporting safe transitions from hospital to home and reducing the risk of readmission through effective community-based intervention.
