We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with experience of working with children, to assist Physiotherapists in providing services to children and young people with special needs in a variety of settings in Harrow including schools, clinics, the hospital and aquatic therapy.

As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.

He / she will be expected to work collaboratively with children and young people, parents/carers and families. The post holder will contribute to departmental meetings and project work and will assist in the delivery of training to school staff and parents, on all aspects of physiotherapy.
