About the role

We’re looking for an experienced paediatric physiotherapist to join Just for Kids as our Clinical Lead.

This is a genuine clinical leadership role combining your own paediatric caseload with protected time for mentoring, complex case support, clinical education, service development and leadership.

The role is approximately 60-70% clinical / 30-40% clinical leadership and service development , although this will flex depending on the needs of the team.

You’ll work closely with our Director, Senior Paediatric Physiotherapist and Practice Manager to support an established paediatric team and help shape where Just for Kids goes next.

What you’ll do

Your role will include:

- Managing your own paediatric caseload within your areas of experience and interest
- Supervising and mentoring physiotherapists and physiotherapy aides
- Supporting clinicians with complex cases and clinical decision-making
- Providing joint consultations and co-treatment where appropriate
- Reviewing clinical reasoning and treatment plans
- Running case discussions, in-services and internal training
- Developing clinician learning and professional development plans
- Supporting onboarding and development of current clinicians
- Reviewing clinical pathways, service quality and consistency of care
- Working with the leadership team on staffing, service priorities and future growth
- Building relationships with paediatricians, GPs, allied health professionals and other referrers

Potential upcoming Clinical Lead projects





A key part of this role is having protected time to work on projects that improve the service beyond the patients you personally treat.

Potential upcoming projects may include:

- Further developing our Physiotherapy Aide service , including delegation, handover systems and aide training
- Exploring the viability of a satellite paediatric physiotherapy service alongside a trusted local paediatric medical team
- Reviewing and implementing an additional standardised gross motor assessment tool
- Investigating emerging clinical areas such as neuromuscular electrical stimulation
- Reviewing and updating clinical pathways and SOPs
- Developing targeted team upskilling and professional development programs
- Improving clinician onboarding and supervision systems
- Identifying new service opportunities and helping determine what we should develop next

These are examples rather than a fixed project list. We want the Clinical Lead to have genuine input into where their time and expertise can have the greatest impact.

Ideally, you’ll have:

- 5+ years’ experience as a physiotherapist
- At least 2 years’ private practice paediatric physiotherapy experience
- Strong independent clinical reasoning and caseload management
