An opportunity has arisen for a Speciality Doctor to join our Rehabilitation Medicine Team.

The successful candidate will provide in-patient care for the 7 level 2A acute rehabilitation beds and will also develop an out-reach service within the acute hospital for assessing referrals and providing advice. They will also be expected to undertake training to be able to work in the spasticity service and provide out-patients reviews and treatments in clinic.

The region offers beautiful countryside, from rugged cliffs and sandy beaches to forests, hills and rolling plains. There is a wide range of activities on offer, with watersports, fishing, birdwatching, golf, mountain-biking or cycling along the network of rural roads and much more. House prices are low, schools are good and you are within 2 hours of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lake District and Newcastle.

Applications for part-time or flexible employment are always welcome. Visits for prospective candidates to DGRI can be arranged and we encourage applicants to either meet with us virtually or to come and see us to appreciate our outstanding facilities and friendly working environment.
