You will use your clinical skills to assess the mobility needs of adults and children with complex needs, and to prescribe manual and powered wheelchairs with associated posture management and pressure management accessories.
To provide leadership for the local clinical team and manage referrals and team caseload.
You will supervise junior staff and provide clinical guidance to other non-clinical colleagues in the service.
You will work with clinical and operational colleagues to deliver contractual service performance of a high quality that demonstrates a personalised approach with measured outcomes.
You will liaise with service user groups and other stakeholders, including local voluntary and statutory services, to facilitate joint working where appropriate and identify opportunities for improving service user outcomes.
You will provide support for internal and external training programmes, including apprenticeships, student placements etc. and contribute to the development of internal training resources.

You will be a highly motivated individual with excellent organisational and communication skills who is keen to balance your experience of working in a customer-focused service with a clinical caseload.
Strong interpersonal and diplomacy skills combined with the ability to manage a varied workload are essential.
You will be confident in the use of digital systems and software for record-keeping and for analysis of service performance.
You must hold a full current UK driving licence for a manual transmission vehicle and be willing to drive Ross Care vehicles (vans) as necessary.
Because of your role, you will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
