An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Paediatric Physiotherapist with broad experience across all areas of Paediatrics. The successful candidate will be skilled in completing musculoskeletal / neurological / neurodevelopmental and respiratory assessments in a wide range of highly complex, rare conditions. We are part of the wider physiotherapy department and sit within the neurology physiotherapy team.
This post is part of an established physiotherapy service, consisting of a Band 8 metabolic and dermatology clinical specialist, a band 7 metabolic and endocrine specialist and a rotational band 6 physiotherapist.
The successful candidate will provide a highly specialist physiotherapy service for children and young people (0-18 years) presenting with metabolic conditions both as in and out-patients working closely with the metabolic team. It is anticipated that the physiotherapist would play a key role in the MDT and liaising with local therapy services.
In addition they will provide holistic physiotherapy care to children admitted to the medical wards (renal, urology, metabolic, endocrine, gastroenterology) with a broad range of underlying complex conditions.
We are a forward thinking and dynamic team who are involved in MDT research and teaching. Good communication skills and team working abilities are essential for this post.
