Main duties of the job

You will demonstrate highly developed skills and competence in this clinical area and understanding of evidence informed approaches. 

You will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the EHCP process.  In addition, you will demonstrate and support leadership in a team of experienced physiotherapists and support staff, and hold a musculoskeletal clinical caseload of children and young people.

This post is based at our Child Development Centre in Harrogate, although cover may be needed at our other base in Hambleton and Richmondshire and you will also provide expert clinical support to staff in both localities and undertake travel to meet up in person.
