Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist

We are seeking a skilled and enthusiastic Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist to join our Frailty Team at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy. Our team delivers Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments (CGA) to patients presenting with frailty in key front-door areas, including the Medical/Surgical Admissions Units, Emergency Department, Rapid Triage Unit and GP Assessment.

This is a unique and rewarding opportunity to be part of an innovative service. As well as providing rapid multidimensional assessments and identifying appropriate care pathways to support patient flow, you will contribute to the ongoing development of the Physiotherapy or Occupational Therapy role within the evolving Frailty Team.

You will work within a multidisciplinary team, including Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Practitioners, and Clinical Frailty Practitioners. You must be flexible to cover a seven-day working rota. The Frailty Team operates from 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM, 365 days a year, on a self-rostering basis.

We are looking for a dedicated Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist with a strong interest in working with older adults, aligning with local and National Frailty Standards. Experience in staff supervision and management is beneficial, as you will be expected to engage in clinical audits, quality improvement, and supervise junior staff and students.

The role offers regular supervision, TURAS appraisal, and opportunities for professional development. If you thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and have a passion for enhancing the lives of older adults, we would love to hear from you.
