NHS Lothian 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 Lothian welcomes applications from all sections of society.
We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
Applications
Applications are welcome for the above fixed term, full time (40 hours per week) post based in East Lothian Community Hospital.
The successful candidate will join the current multidisciplinary Medicine of the Elderly Team who support the inpatient acute assessment, rehabilitation and Health Board Complex Clinical Care (HBCCC) wards. The new post holder will provide medical input to the orthogeriatric rehabilitation ward at East Lothian Community Hospital, supporting the existing senior medical staff and providing medical support. This ward, (Ward 5) provides Pan-Lothian rehabilitation to patients in the early post-op period after orthopaedic trauma. Patients are transferred from the acute site from Day 3 onwards and so you may be managing some post-op complications such as pneumonia, wound infections and anaemia. The successful candidate will also provide cross-cover of other general MOE areas. There is a very strong ethos of multidisciplinary team working within the hospital so it is important that any candidate for this role has a collaborative approach to medical practice and ideally experience of working within a MDT with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing colleagues and other Allied Health Professionals.

AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application but your answers must be your own.
Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you not an AI tool.
