We are really excited to be able to offer a Band 5-6 progressive Children's Physiotherapist (PT) post.

Are you a Children's PT looking for a new challenge or a PT who wants to develop your experience in Children’s Physiotherapy?

Do you want to be part of an innovative and agile Children and Young People’s Therapy service committed to delivering high quality care? We are looking to recruit a Children's Physiotherapist to join our well-established Children's Physiotherapy team, based in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

We are currently looking to recruit to a 1 WTE (full time) post.

Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust provides integrated Children's Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech & Language Therapy Services for families across the county. Our integrated service is jointly commissioned by health and education, allowing us to provide a seamless pathway of care from early years through to schools and specialist provisions.

This post would suit a Band 5 PT who is looking to progress towards a Band 6 Specialist role in Paediatrics. The successful applicant will be given a set of competencies to progress into the Band 6 role and work under the supervision of a named mentor to support this transition.

Support, mentoring and further training will be provided to meet the individual needs of practitioners in areas where up skilling and development is required.
