Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and motivated Rehabilitation Physiotherapist to join our dynamic physiotherapy team in Caithness. This role offers the opportunity to work across a varied and rewarding caseload while contributing to the development of physiotherapy services within a supportive multidisciplinary environment.
This is a post has a broad clinical remit, supporting patients from acute to chronic, frailty, neurological, respiratory, mobility/functional and Orthopaedic /musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. The successful candidate will provide a whole-person approach to physiotherapy, working across all four pillars of practice
The role covers a varied caseload, physiotherapy community work (domiciliary visits, outpatient care, groups such as Pulmonary Rehab) and hospital in-reach inpatient physiotherapy within Caithness acute and rural hospitals, such as acute admissions, rehab wards, and A&E.
The post holder will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to assist with early assessment, rehabilitation, admission avoidance, safe timely discharge planning, community rehabilitation, supporting individuals at home to maximise independence and reducing unnecessary hospital stays.
