Are you passionate about providing a high-quality Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) service to adult inpatients with neurological impairments? Are you looking for the chance to develop your career in a prestigious London Trust with access to highly skilled clinicians and multiple learning opportunities?
We are looking for a specialist SLT to join our service in a split post across the Charing Cross Neuro-Rehabilitation Unit (CNRU) - a 15-bedded level-2 neuro-rehabilitation unit - and our Stroke Wards, primarily our HASU. The services have dedicated multidisciplinary teams in which SLT has a high profile. CNRU receives patients from across North-West London and from our local stroke units, major trauma centre, and neurology and neurosurgical wards.
About the Role
As a valued member of the speech & language therapy and multidisciplinary teams, you will contribute to holistic inter-disciplinary working, further developing your clinical skills in the management of dysphagia and acquired communication disorders. You will be actively involved in service development and training of others. The post-holder will provide support to Therapy Support Workers as well as supervise students on placement. Staff are encouraged and supported to participate in CPD activities.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide specialist SLT service to adult inpatients with disorders of communication and/or swallowing arising from acquired neurological conditions, underpinned by current evidence-based practice.
- Participate in a pilot of a Saturday service within Stroke, providing approximately 3 Saturdays in a 6-month period, with a day off in lieu during the week.
- Participate in the multidisciplinary teams working on the Charing Cross Neuro-Rehabilitation Unit (CNRU) - a 15-bedded level-2 neuro-rehabilitation service provided to patients from North-West London boroughs - and rapid access to acute rehabilitation service to Stroke or Neurosciences wards.
- Receive regular support and supervision from a Band 7 SLT.
- Continue to gain wider clinical experience and expertise through clinical support and be able to make independent clinical decisions concerning caseload management.
- Develop skills across the other pillars of practice, including facilitating learning, leadership, and service development, both within SLT and across the wider MDT.
