The post holder will undertake highly skilled support work with children and young people who need support from physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy. This may include working with children on an individual basis or as part of a group. It will also include working in partnership with others who are involved in the child’s care, for example parents and carers, teachers, and other healthcare professionals.
Working to agreed protocols and guided by standard operating procedures, the post holder will be key in the treatment and care of children and young people and also their parent/carer where relevant. The post holder will be working under indirect supervision of registered practitioners in the team. This will involve taking responsibility for an identified and allocated caseload following screening or assessment by a registered practitioner and will have a degree of autonomy depending on the degree of complexity and risk of the task being undertaken.
Work will be carried out in a variety of settings including health centres, schools, nurseries, patient’s homes or other community settings.
