About the Role

As the Clinical Head of Paediatric Rehabilitation, you will be the clinical heartbeat of our paediatric services working with our National Head of Clinical Development for Physical Rehabilitation. This leadership role balances active clinical practice with the responsibility for mentoring, clinical quality, and program development. You will ensure our services are evidence-informed, outcomes-driven, and aligned with the highest standards of clinical governance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Clinical Leadership & Governance: Oversee clinical quality and safety across our paediatric rehabilitation services, ensuring alignment with structured performance and development frameworks.

• Active Clinical Caseload: Maintain an active paediatric caseload (approximately 24 billable hours), with a caseload focus on Pre-school, school-aged children and adolescents.

• Service Development: Contribute to broader Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) and organisational outcomes, driving innovation in community-based paediatric models.

• Family-Centred Practice: Champion an outcomes-focused, family-centred approach to care across diverse paediatric populations.

Essential Criteria:

• Clinical Expertise: Typically 5+ years of dedicated paediatric experience, with strong capability in managing diverse cases from early intervention through to adolescence.

• Expert Knowledge: Confident in handling complex developmental, neurodevelopmental, and functional presentations within an MDT environment.

• Leadership Readiness: A history of independent professional development and a genuine interest in mentoring and clinical education.

• Education & Registration: Minimum Bachelor or Post Graduate Entry Level Degree in Physiotherapy with General AHPRA membership.

• Operational Standards: Demonstrated ability to meet KPIs and align with senior clinical leadership expectations.

• Logistics: Valid driver’s licence and access to a vehicle; ability to work flexibly and travel as needed.
