Central Scotland 

• Full and Part time positions available
• Training provided if necessary
• CPD encouraged and supported

This is an interesting and varied position, covering the complete spectrum of physiotherapy practice. Working alone, within our client's premises and without direct supervision, you will be providing the following services:

• Occupational health clinics including occasional workplace low/medium risk ergonomic assessments
• Moving and handling courses for nursing homes, councils and other public/private sector organisations
• Care Home Services for Nursing Homes
• Back care promotions

The physiotherapist will also be required to participate in meetings with clients and assist in the company's healthcare literature/publications. All work undertaken by the physiotherapist will be as per PhysiCare's policies and procedures, including the provision of statistical information for certain clients. The Physiotherapist will have no responsibility for financial expenditure.

Pre-requisites - Physiotherapists should be full members of the CSP (Chartered Society of Physiotherapy) or OCPPP (Organisation of Chartered Physiotherapists in Private Practice). All Physiotherapists should have had a period of broadly based post-qualification experience, including outpatient and orthopaedic work.

They should be capable of providing a full range of physiotherapy treatment and in addition to their knowledge of clinical physiotherapy, they should also recognise the particular requirements associated with working in an industrial/commercial environment, separated from the National Health Service.

Physiotherapists should be aware of basic ergonomic principles and capable of providing individual patients with advice on the avoidance of injury. All should be alert to the safe operation of equipment, and the maintenance of hygiene within the workplace.

Excellent Salary and Benefits please contact Sharon McArdle for further details.

Freelance/bank

Our full time staff covers most of our work, but we require freelance staff to cover certain areas of the UK or to assist when our diaries are full or to cover sickness absence. Applicants should complete the one page questionnaire and attach their CV and a current photo. Our Head of Physio will review applications and advise the type of work the freelancer is suitable for i.e. courses, clinics, health promotions or all. Successful applicants will receive a contract for services detailing terms, conditions, pay etc.

When suitable work becomes available we will contact the freelance physio in that area and arrange the booking on for a date to suit the freelancer. Sometimes the client specifies the date and if our first choice freelancer is not available, we will contact the next freelance physio on our database. Full training and all equipment, materials, forms etc will be provided by PhysiCare. If you are interested in presenting client handling courses, you will need to come to Glasgow for one days training on the manoeuvres we teach. No charge will be made for this training, but freelancers will have to pay for their own travel and accommodation if applicable. Half day courses, clinical and promotional work do not require face-to-face training. Everything you need will be posted to you.

The amount of work each freelancer wishes to do is entirely up to him or her. Some freelancers work for us 4-6 days a month and others once or twice a year.

Although all freelancers should be Chartered Physiotherapists, PhysiCare has it's own insurances, which covers anyone working on behalf of the company.
