Job Description:

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK, employing around 40,000 staff across various clinical and non-clinical roles. We provide acute hospital, primary, community, and mental health services to over 1.15 million people, expanding to 2.2 million with regional and national services.

The shift pattern for this position is 08:30 – 16:30, Monday to Friday.

We are offering a unique opportunity for a highly skilled Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist, Band 7, at the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit, QEUH. The unit provides intensive inpatient rehabilitation and lifelong follow-up for Scotland's spinal cord injured population, advising on physiotherapy issues across primary and tertiary services.

Responsibilities include clinical supervision of static Band 6 staff, rotational Band 5 staff, and ongoing support to physiotherapy support workers. The role also involves supervising undergraduate and postgraduate students, leading educational initiatives within the spinal unit and NHSGGC, and promoting physiotherapy in spinal injury care.

Additional duties include leading clinical governance and service development initiatives, with a preference for candidates with research and development experience. Applicants should have at least 5 years of postgraduate experience, including 3 years in spinal cord injury or neurorehabilitation. A clean driving license and HCPC registration are required. This is a full-time, permanent position (37 hours).
