Specialist Paediatric Physiotherapist

The closing date is 12 July 2026

The Children and Young Persons Specialist Services are patient and family focussed services who work to support children, young people and their families to reach their potential in education and social life. Our team works within the context of the wider Trust which covers all aspects of community healthcare. We value our staff and are committed to their own professional development and health and well being.

The team are looking to recruit a Band 6 Specialist Paediatric Physiotherapist (fixed term) working at a Children's Development Centre, within the community, special and mainstream schools.

The team consists of 30 physiotherapists (full and part time) across Nottinghamshire and a team of support staff. As part of the Team around the child, we work closely with our education and OT colleagues, Speech and Language Therapists and the Nursing Team.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a part time Band 6 Specialist Paediatric Physiotherapist (maternity cover) based in Nottinghamshire.

The post holder will see children and young people age 0-19 years with a wide variety of neurological conditions and those requiring long term functional rehabilitation in the centre, the child's home and schools.

A full UK driving licence and vehicle for business use is required for this post; however reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled individuals in line with the Equality Act 2010.

Please note that this post may not meet the pay level required for a Skilled Worker Visa.

Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.
