Speech and Language Therapist

An exciting opportunity has arisen to be part of our Speech and Language Therapy adult inpatient and community services, based at Scarborough and Bridlington Hospitals. We are a dynamic, supportive, and friendly team who are forward thinking and passionate about evidence-based practice and service development.

This role provides a wide range of opportunities that are ideal for an SLT who wants to broaden their skillset, and we work with a highly varied caseload which includes; general medicine, progressive neurological conditions, stroke rehabilitation, and palliative care, with acute inpatients, inpatients rehab and community patients.

We would welcome you to get in touch to discuss how this role could be what you are looking for. If you have a particular area you want to specialise in, we offer internal and external training opportunities and mentoring.

If applying for this post as a secondment, please ensure you have approval from your current line manager.

You will be an active member of the multidisciplinary team, contributing to service development, training and audit. There will also be the opportunity to supervise and provide mentorship to junior colleagues, including Band 5 Speech and Language Therapists, assistants and SLT students.

You should be confident in managing a caseload independently, assessing and treating patients with a wide range of communication and swallowing difficulties related. Experience in Videofluoroscopy would be desirable, but not essential. Service improvement and clinically developing services for our patients is at the heart of what we do and we value all team members ideas. Training is available via our quality improvement team to develop skills in leading on service improvement projects.

From a support perspective, there is a robust clinical and managerial supervision process in place. Peer support and on-going clinical support is available, including accessing AHP Band 6 development forums. You will have access to informal and formal training and CPD opportunities, where learning and sharing is strongly encouraged. We strive for ongoing service development, and participation in projects and audits to this end is highly valued.
