Physiotherapist – Nahla Centre for Child Development, Wayanad

At Nahla, a leading multidisciplinary child development centre in Kerala, physiotherapists play a vital role in transforming the lives of children with developmental, neurological, and physical challenges. This is more than just a clinical role — it’s a compassionate commitment to helping each child reach their fullest potential.

Job Description

As a physiotherapist at Nahla, you will work closely with a dynamic team of healthcare professionals — including psychologists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and pediatricians — to deliver holistic, family-centered care.

You will assess and treat children with a wide range of physical difficulties, such as delayed motor milestones, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, autism spectrum disorders, and orthopedic conditions. Your approach will be hands-on, creative, and child-focused, combining therapeutic exercises, play-based interventions, and adaptive tools.

In this role, you’ll also serve as a guide for parents and caregivers — helping them understand their child’s condition and empowering them with strategies and exercises to continue progress at home. Regular documentation, follow-ups, and collaborative goal-setting with families are key parts of your work.

Responsibilities Include:

• Performing detailed physical and functional assessments of children
• Designing and implementing individualized therapy plans
• Applying techniques such as neurodevelopmental therapy, motor coordination training, and therapeutic play
• Using tools such as resistance bands, therapy balls, balance boards, and mobility aids
• Collaborating with other professionals to ensure integrated care
• Educating and training caregivers on home exercise programs and positioning techniques
• Monitoring progress and adapting therapy as needed
• Participating in outreach programs and public awareness sessions

Qualifications & Skills:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physiotherapy (BPT/MPT)
• Valid physiotherapy license/registration
• Experience or strong interest in pediatric and developmental therapy
• Excellent interpersonal skills — especially empathy, patience, and creativity
• Comfortable working in a multicultural, multilingual setting (proficiency in Malayalam and English is ideal)
• Ability to document progress clearly and work in a team-driven environment

Location & Work Style:

This is a full-time, on-site role based at Nahla Centre, Vellamunda, Wayanad, Kerala. The centre offers a structured, collaborative environment with access to well-equipped therapy rooms and child-friendly spaces.

Compensation:

• Annual salary typically ranges from ₹1.8 to ₹3.6 lakhs, based on experience
• Opportunities for performance-based incentives, training support, and career growth within the centre

Why Join Nahla?

Working at Nahla is an opportunity to be part of a mission-driven team that believes in early intervention, inclusion, and compassionate care. You’ll contribute to real, lasting change in children’s lives and be supported by a thoughtful leadership team that values learning and collaboration.
