Major Trauma Rehabilitation Co-ordinator
We are looking for an experienced, motivated and highly skilled clinician to join NHS Fife as Major Trauma Rehabilitation Co-ordinator. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in supporting the South East of Scotland Trauma Network and contributing to the delivery of high quality, safe, person-centred rehabilitation for patients following major trauma.

The post holder will provide clinical leadership and co-ordination across the major trauma pathway, supporting patients repatriated to Fife from Major Trauma Centers and those managed within NHS Fife. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, patients, families, carers and regional network colleagues, you will help ensure that rehabilitation plans are implemented effectively and that patients receive timely, co-ordinated and compassionate care throughout their recovery journey.

Key responsibilities

• Maintain oversight of major trauma patients repatriated to Fife and those managed locally within NHS Fife.
• Co-ordinate and monitor implementation of rehabilitation plans, ensuring appropriate involvement from relevant specialties and services.
• Provide advanced clinical reasoning, specialist advice, clinical intervention and leadership to support high-quality rehabilitation and patient outcomes.
• Work collaboratively with regional and national Major Trauma Centers, Trauma Units, multidisciplinary teams and community services to support safe, seamless pathways of care.
• Promote patient and family involvement in care planning, supporting realistic goal setting and self-management where appropriate.
• Contribute to service development, clinical governance, audit, education, training, pathway improvement and quality assurance across the major trauma pathway.

About you
You will be an AHP registered with the HCPC with a relevant diploma or degree and significant clinical experience within trauma, orthopaedics, neurology, rehabilitation or a closely related area. You will bring highly developed clinical knowledge, strong leadership skills and the ability to work autonomously while building effective relationships across professional, organisational and regional boundaries.

Excellent communication, negotiation, organisational and decision-making skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities, contribute to governance and audit, support service improvement and respond sensitively to patients and families following life-changing trauma.

You should demonstrate a commitment to continuing professional development, evidence-based practice and the NHS Fife values of dignity and respect, quality and teamwork, openness, honesty and responsibility, and care and compassion.

Why join us?
This post offers the opportunity to influence and develop major trauma rehabilitation pathways across NHS Fife, contribute to regional service improvement and make a meaningful difference to patients and families during a complex and often challenging stage of recovery. You will be part of a collaborative, supportive and forward-thinking service with a strong focus on safe, person-centred care, professional development and continuous improvement.

You will be required to work across Fife, therefore the ability to travel is essential.
