Physio/Occupational Therapist

Started as a community health and development project, this organisation has expanded to include a 150-bed hospital, training for midwives and nurses, a research hub, and an English-speaking school for children up to grade 10. The project has a holistic approach, which seeks spiritual, physical, social and emotional transformation. There is a paediatric rehabilitation department which treats mainly children with cerebral palsy but also children with other disabilities. There is a clubfoot program and assistive devices are produced on location.

The hospital operates a rehabilitation unit for disabled children, for up to 6 inpatients and over 1500 outpatients, both at the hospital and in remote community clinics. Adult therapy services are offered for in- and out-patients. The project is seeking a physiotherapist or occupational therapist to give clinical support and guidance to our local therapy assistants in all three therapy disciplines. Other paramedical, nursing and medical staff are also sought. A commitment of at least 1 year is preferable.

Some clinical experience is preferred. A successful applicant should be prepared to meet clinical needs as they arise, as well as contribute to training. Those with research interests will find opportunity to work on existing projects. Job ID – 1463
