104630 Physiotherapist for Children and Young People in Glasgow

We are seeking a motivated and experienced physiotherapist to join our well established and forward thinking team, where you will be working to provide a specialist clinical service.   The post is fixed term for 12 months.

Our main base and the base for this post is at The Willows, a purposely redesigned multi disciplinary Children and Family’s Centre, set in the beautiful Crichton grounds, where we are co located with other Children and Young Peoples AHP’s as well as a range of other health colleagues. 

The service provides therapy and support to children and families in community settings across the large, rural region of Dumfries and Galloway.  We work closely with colleagues in health, education and community services ensuring that our children and families experience multi agency practice.  We are committed to providing excellent support to our staff, encouraging personal and professional development.  

This post will primarily cover an identified specialist community caseload working in settings such as homes, schools and nurseries in the central and east parts of the region.

You will need to be flexible, be able to prioritise and manage your time effectively. You will be able to work independently whilst still being part of a dynamic team. You must be able to travel independently of public transport as extensive travel will be required due to the geography of the region. 

Dumfries and Galloway is a popular tourist area with scenic coastal and rustic landscapes, with close links to Ireland. It offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor and cultural activities including walking, cycling and sailing, Big Burns celebrations, Book & Art festivals. Glasgow, Carlisle and Edinburgh are easily accessible via good road and train links.
