The CSP Scottish Board has recently undertaken new constitutional changes. This brings with it opportunities to continue to drive forward improvement and provide a voice for members in Scotland especially as we emerge from these challenging times.
The Scottish Board is delighted to welcome expressions of interest from all CSP members who are living or working in Scotland and from all backgrounds and sectors to join an exciting and dynamic group. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about promoting and influencing the future of our profession and eager to communicate this to all members.
A number of exciting roles exist, however we are looking for:
• Individuals who are ready to make a difference and drive Physiotherapy forward
• Members who have leadership qualities but who are also a team player
• Individuals who are proactive, innovative and those who are able to communicate and disseminate effectively to our members
We are seeking to be an inclusive, diverse and proactive board and therefore welcome expressions of interest from those across the entire profession with no prior experience of board level work required. If this sounds like you, then we would encourage you to apply.
The deadline for expressions of interest is Friday 26th February. Short video/telephone chats may be arranged following this.
Read on for further information about the Scottish Board, the role and how to apply.
