If you’re keen to explore new ways of working, bring your ideas for service improvement to life, and support colleagues to deliver the highest standard of person‑centred care for children and families, this role could be the perfect fit. Based at Milestones, our purpose‑built children’s physical therapy centre in Ormskirk hospital, our service supports children and young people aged 0–19 across a range of specialist pathways including MSK, Early Years, Coordination Difficulties and Long‑Term Conditions.  We are looking for an experienced Children’s Physiotherapist with strong clinical skills who can work autonomously in community settings as the postholder will manage a caseload of children and young people with complex and/or additional needs.  The service delivers responsive and flexible physiotherapy assessment and intervention for children across the West Lancashire footprint and therefore you will be expected to travel on a daily basis from our base to a range of community settings including mainstream and special schools, nurseries, family hubs and children’s homes, often in rural areas across. ### Main duties of the job As Clinical Lead, you’ll also provide expert clinical guidance and supervision, lead on specialist pathways, and help shape the future of the service.
