With effect from 01 April 2026, NHS Scotland is reducing its full‑time working week from 37 to 36 hours per week; there will be no change in full‑time pay.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Physiotherapist with relevant post‑graduate experience to join the Angus Physiotherapy Service. You will be based within the Community Rehabilitation Team in Angus, which sits within the Angus Health and Social Care Partnership.

Our Vision Statement: “Working together, developing communities that actively care, promoting wellbeing and creating the best possible health and social care across Angus.”

The post holder will work within the community rehabilitation team. You will provide high‑quality evidence‑based assessment and rehabilitation for inpatients on the MFE wards at Arbroath infirmary, contribute to discharge planning, and play a key role in the transition of care from hospital to home. You will carry training and supervision of junior staff, support workers and students.

The post holder will also carry a caseload of community patients across the south of Angus. The caseload is varied, including musculo‑skeletal, neurological, orthopaedic and respiratory problems. You will have active involvement in the Angus Parkinson clinic and in delivering the Better Balance Programme.

The team enjoys a close working relationship with other members of the multidisciplinary team and is actively involved in Enhanced Community Support meetings across the locality. The ability to travel across the locality is essential.

Within Tayside, we actively support the NMAHP Development Framework both locally and within the AHP Directorate, working closely with our AHP colleagues.
