TWO EXCITING BAND 6 SPEECH & LANGUAGE THERAPY OPPORTUNITIES
Specialist Speech & Language Therapist (Band 6) Full Time | Permanent
Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust is seeking two enthusiastic and motivated Speech and Language Therapists to join our well-established Adult Acute SLT service. You will become part of a supportive team of 29.2 WTE SLTs and 1.5 WTE SLT Assistants, delivering high-quality care across one of the UK's leading teaching hospitals.
We are recruiting to two specialist Band 6 roles based at St Thomas' Hospital:
-
Post 1: Adult Acute Medicine and Surgery
- Providing assessment and management of adults with acquired communication and swallowing disorders across inpatient medical and surgical wards.
-
Post 2: Adult Acute Stroke
- Working within the multidisciplinary stroke team to assess and manage communication and swallowing disorders on the Stroke Unit.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Suitable applicants will have post-graduate experience managing adults with acquired communication and swallowing disorders and be confident working independently within a multidisciplinary environment. Teaching and service development form an important part of both roles.
Key Responsibilities:
- To take clinical responsibility as an autonomous specialist for the provision of a high-quality Speech and Language Therapy service to adult inpatients on the acute medical and surgical wards (post 1) or on the Stroke Unit (post 2).
There is a strong ethos of clinical support, supervision and development within the team. The service is able to offer you excellent supervision and peer support, with an emphasis on team working. Quality improvement projects and research ideas are strongly encouraged, both within SLT and in the multi-professional teams. We have regular team meetings, plus opportunities for continuing professional development through in-house training, clinical excellence networks and external courses.
