Specialist Learning Disabilities Physiotherapist
2 weeks ago
We are looking for an experienced Physiotherapist with skills in postural management, falls prevention, frailty management, rehabilitation, MSK and health promotion to join our Specialist team. Working in Community Learning Disabilities gives opportunity to use all these skills and more in a varied job role.
The adults on your caseload will all have a Learning Disability, some may have multiple co-morbidities such as Downs Syndrome & Dementia and complex communication difficulties. You will see a large variety of physical conditions, working in collaboration with both health and social care partners to meet the needs of this vulnerable group.
You will have a range of clinical experience, ideally including Respiratory, Neurology, Orthopaedics and musculoskeletal. You will be an excellent communicator, have a high level of organisational skills and be able to demonstrate good clinical reasoning.
For more information on the Role of The Specialist Learning Disability Physiotherapist watch our short animation.
The physiotherapy service is based at Lynebank Hospital, Dunfermline and provides input to adults living across the Fife community as part of a larger multidisciplinary team, and a small number of inpatients. The team has access to hydrotherapy and rebound therapy facilities to support rehabilitation and have strong links with the local frame running group. We also have a green gym on site to promote physical activity.
The adult learning disability Physiotherapy team has strong links with children & young people, MSK & pain management physiotherapy teams who are all within the same portfolio.
As a Band 6 you will provide clinical support and mentorship to physiotherapy support workers within the team and Physiotherapy students. Protected Learning Time is also incorporated into your job plan with good support for career development. Experience working with people with Learning Disabilities is not essential, but a desire to work with this client group and a knowledge and understanding of their needs is important. The ability to travel throughout Fife during the working day is essential to this post.
With its vibrant fishing villages, magnificent beaches and peaceful countryside, Fife is a great place to develop your career with the NHS. Steeped in history with many local restaurants, shops and opportunities for sporting activities, Fife has something to offer everyone.
