Exciting Opportunity for Experienced Speech & Language Therapist (SLT)
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and passionate Speech & Language Therapist (SLT) to clinically lead the Acute/Rehab Stroke Team at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust (LTHTR), alongside our other established B7 SLT and ACP practitioner. We are a Comprehensive Stroke Centre, which means this post offers an interesting variety of work across the stroke pathway.
This role covers the whole Stroke Pathway including HASU, acute stroke, and stroke rehabilitation. Clinically this entails complex acquired disorders of communication, cognition and dysphagia and the opportunity to work with an established and passionate MDT. Collaboratively we are part of an active regional stroke delivery network, which drives quality improvement initiative and provides training opportunities to ensure optimal patient care.
LTHTR have established VFS and FEES clinics and experience in these areas would be advantageous. However, for the right candidate training in VFS and FEES could be provided in-house.
