Job overview
Due to an innovative pilot project, this 24-month fixed-term opportunity is available for an experienced Speech and Language Therapist (AfC Band 7) with specialist clinical skills to meet the communication needs of a forensic population. Based across Shrewsbury and Stafford areas.
Forensic mental health services at MPFT have secured funding to explore the potential impact speech and language therapy input can have on the length of stay of our service users.
This post will work closely with the advanced speech and language therapist to implement this project and provide clinical oversight to the B5 speech and language therapists.
This post will work across the service, meaning there will be a requirement to travel between the two service sites in Stafford and Shrewsbury.

It searches the market for you

EXPENSES WILL BE PAID for travel, and the base will be agreed to best support the successful candidate. There is scope to work with some flexibility around the working pattern to accommodate travel time.
