Active Neuro, our specialist division of Active Care Group, is transforming neurorehabilitation in the UK. We are looking for a skilled and compassionate Lead Physiotherapist to join our team at The Laurels in Lincoln, working two days per week.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Physiotherapist with experience in neurological rehabilitation to take a lead role in delivering high-quality, person-centred care while overseeing the development of the physiotherapy service.

The part-time nature of this role offers an excellent opportunity for an experienced Physiotherapist seeking greater flexibility, whether to complement existing commitments, support a better work-life balance or maintain a varied portfolio career, while still making a meaningful contribution to a specialist rehabilitation service.

You will lead on specialist assessments and treatment planning, provide clinical leadership and work closely with the multidisciplinary team (MDT) to ensure individuals receive effective, evidence-based rehabilitation.

If you are an experienced Physiotherapist looking for a flexible, part-time leadership opportunity where you can use your clinical expertise to shape and develop a service, we would love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead specialist physiotherapy assessments and develop, deliver and review individualised, evidence-based treatment programmes.

• Work collaboratively within the MDT, contributing to holistic rehabilitation planning, risk management and service development.
• Lead and participate in clinical audits, research and service improvements to promote evidence-based practice.
• Maintain accurate clinical records and outcome measures, ensuring effective communication and handover within the MDT.
• Liaise with families, carers and other professionals to support a coordinated, person-centred approach to rehabilitation.
• Ensure compliance with professional standards, clinical governance requirements and organisational policies.

About You

You will be a qualified Physiotherapist, registered with the HCPC, with significant post-qualification experience and a background in neurological rehabilitation, including brain injury and other complex neurological conditions. Experience, knowledge or a keen interest in Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is also preferred. You will be confident taking a lead within a clinical team and passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred care.

You will also have:

• Strong clinical assessment, reasoning and treatment planning skills, with experience managing complex rehabilitation needs.
• Proven leadership skills, with the ability to support colleagues, drive service development and promote best practice.
• Experience working autonomously and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.
• Knowledge of clinical governance, safeguarding and relevant regulatory requirements.
• Excellent communication, organisational and time management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
• A flexible, proactive approach and a commitment to continuous professional development.
