Do you have a passion for rehabilitation and supporting people to maximise their independence, health, and wellbeing? We have opportunities for dynamic and forward-thinking Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, and Assistant Practitioners within Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership. We are looking for adaptable, collaborative, and motivated individuals to help strengthen and shape our community rehabilitation services. These roles offer the opportunity to contribute to service development and innovation as we evolve future models of care.

Our Community Rehabilitation Service is currently undergoing a period of redesign to further enhance service delivery and improve patient outcomes. Some aspects of these roles may develop over time in line with service priorities. These posts provide opportunities to develop rehabilitation skills with a wide range of people and gain experience in problem-solving, quality improvement, collaboration, and service development.

The successful candidate will be hosted at Astley Ainslie Hospital, but this could change as part of the redesign. You may work flexibly across community locations to ensure efficient use of time and responsive patient-centred care. There may be a requirement to contribute to a 7-day working pattern including weekends as part of a rota system, currently once every 6 weeks.

Joining EHSCP includes commitment to personal and professional development and access to training opportunities relevant to your role.

If you are looking to find out more about these opportunities, please contact Karen Gray, Clinical Service Manager, Edinburgh Health & Social Care Partnership.
