NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

This is a full time permanent position, and the shift pattern for this position is 5/7.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an assistant practitioner to join our orthopaedic AHP team, at Inverclyde Royal Hospital. This role is to support the Specialist Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist within the Team. The post holder will work within the orthopaedic wards, and help to maintain and develop the service provided to both elective orthopaedics and trauma step down patients.

The post holder will be delegated appropriate tasks by professionally qualified Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy team members, HCSWs and the wider MDT working under their guidance in undertaking both clinical and non-clinical tasks. It is expected that the assistant practitioner will work independently with patients, within the agreed parameters of a defined intervention plan. Training, supervision and support will be provided to enable the assistant to work within their agreed competence levels.

The post holder must be adaptable, innovative and a team player with good communication and problem solving skills, and be keen to participate in furthering the development of the service in order to deliver high quality care to our patients. There may be a requirement to provide flexible clinical cover to other clinical areas across Clyde.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.

Candidates should provide original and authentic responses to all questions within the application form. The use of artificial intelligence (AI), automated tools, or other third-party assistance to generate, draft, or significantly modify responses is strongly discouraged. By submitting your application, you confirm that all answers are your own work, reflect your personal knowledge, skills and experience, and have not been solely produced or altered by AI or similar technologies.

Failure to comply with this requirement may result in your application being withdrawn from the application process.
