Job description

At Alba Physiotherapy, we believe that when you put people first, everything else follows—patients receive better care, teams grow stronger, and challenges get solved properly. We’re looking for a Lead Chartered Physiotherapist who lives their values, leads with integrity, and wants to make a real impact on people, not just processes.

If you care deeply, take ownership, and want to be part of a team that genuinely has each other’s backs—keep reading.

Who We Are

We are a values‑driven private practice serving Inverness and the wider Highland community.

Our work is grounded in:

• People first, clients second, problems third
• Delivering a genuine WOW experience
• Trust, honesty, and showing up 100% every day
• Taking relentless action rather than waiting to be asked
• A growth mindset—figuring things out and getting better together
• Team togetherness—supporting each other, laughing, and enjoying the journey

The Person We’re Looking For

You are someone who:

• Leads by example, even when no one is watching
• Is passionate but humble—confident in your skills, open to learning
• Connects emotionally and professionally with patients and colleagues
• Anticipates unstated needs and steps in before problems grow
• Takes responsibility and finds solutions instead of excuses
• Inspires others through actions, not titles
• Believes great teams succeed together
• Shows up every day ready to give their best

You don’t need to know everything— but you want to figure things out.

The Role (What You’ll Be Trusted With)

As Lead Chartered Physiotherapist, you will:

• Deliver exceptional, patient‑centred care within your scope of practice
• Be a source of inspiration and stability within the team
• Mentor and support physiotherapists and guide students on placement
• Help shape the future of the practice through ideas, action, and leadership
• Drive positive change with a calm, constructive, and proactive mindset
• Protect and grow the culture that makes Alba Physiotherapy special

This is a hands‑on leadership role built on trust, autonomy, and accountability.

What Matters More Than Your CV

Yes, you must be:

• HCPC‑registered and a Chartered Physiotherapist
• Working at Senior level and ready to step up

But what matters most is:

• How you treat people
• How you respond to challenges
• Whether you get results
• Whether others want to work alongside you

What You’ll Find Here

• A team that supports each other properly
• Space to grow, lead, and shape services—including under‑represented specialties
• A culture built on trust, honesty, and high standards
• CPD and leadership development support
• A workplace where effort is noticed, values are lived, and success is shared

Is This You?

If you’re a Senior Chartered Physiotherapist who:

• Cares deeply
• Leads naturally
• Gets results
• Wants to be part of something values‑led and meaningful

Then we would genuinely love to hear from you.
