You will receive support from the Clinical Lead and experienced Band 6 physiotherapists to help you grow within the role.

You will participate and engage in regular clinical and managerial supervision, and undertake education and training in order to develop oneself and others.

Contribute to audit and service improvement to evaluate and improve clinical practice.

Have an awareness of Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) and statutory duties in relation to this area.
