About the Role:
An exciting opportunity exists for the right Senior Health Professional to join a highly regarded Early Family Support Physiotherapy Team dedicated to improving outcomes for women, infants and families. We are seeking a dynamic, experienced and compassionate physiotherapist to provide specialist assessment and intervention for women between three and twelve months postnatal and infants under twelve months of age presenting with a range of musculoskeletal and developmental concerns, including torticollis, neck dysfunction and positional talipes, while contributing to the delivery of high-quality, family-centred care.
As a senior clinician, you will work closely with women, infants and their families, recognising the importance of trauma-informed, culturally responsive and sensitive care. The role requires advanced clinical reasoning, excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong therapeutic relationships with families during a critical stage of development and adjustment.
The successful applicant will have a strong background in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, experience in women’s health and demonstrated paediatric expertise, particularly in the assessment and treatment of infants with musculoskeletal and developmental conditions. You will be confident working autonomously while contributing positively to a multidisciplinary team environment, partnering with other health professionals to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients.
This is a rewarding and varied position within a vibrant and supportive service, offering the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of women, babies and families. We are looking for a motivated and flexible clinician who is committed to excellence in patient care, continuous professional development and the delivery of innovative, high-quality physiotherapy services. If you are passionate about early intervention, family-centred practice and supporting health and wellbeing during the first year of life, we encourage you to apply.
