About the role
TAC Healthcare offers an extensive range of occupational health and private healthcare services. Our multidisciplinary teams of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals work collaboratively to deliver high standards of care throughout each client’s healthcare journey.
We are looking for an experienced Physiotherapist or Senior Physiotherapist to join our Physiotherapy team, based at our clinic in Dyce, Aberdeen.
We are open to applications from experienced clinicians operating at Band 6 equivalent level, as well as more senior candidates with the experience and capability to take on Band 7 equivalent leadership and service development responsibilities.
The role combines the management of a varied clinical caseload with occupational health and workplace MSK activity. Depending on your experience and seniority, there will also be opportunities to take greater responsibility for clinical leadership, staff supervision, service development, governance and the ongoing development of the Physiotherapy service.
The current caseload includes musculoskeletal and occupational health cases, alongside health promotion activities and extended scope work such as DSE, manual handling and ergonomics, depending on experience and qualifications.
The role is based in Aberdeen and may involve travel to client locations around the city, therefore a full driving licence and access to a car are required.
Salary Range:
- Band 6 - £43,000-£52,00 DOE
