Job Opportunity: Speech & Language Therapist
Are you a new speech & language therapy graduate looking for your first post or a more experienced speech & language therapist seeking a new opportunity? We are looking for an individual to join our Speech and Language Therapy Team for Children and Young People in the NE Fife/Levenmouth cluster.
The team provides a SLT service to children, young people and their families/carers in the local community which includes some areas of high deprivation. The workload involves a focus at a universal and targeted level as well as providing a service to a designated caseload of children and young people with the full range of speech, language and communication needs.
- Join a creative and forward-thinking team who apply well established reflective practice and clinical decision-making models based on the Care Aims Intended Outcomes Framework and incorporating Good Conversations and Personal Outcomes approaches.
- The team consists of therapists with a range of skills and special interests, support practitioners and is led by an experienced lead clinician.
- You would be based with colleagues in Randolph Wemyss Memorial Hospital and work across the Levenmouth/NE Fife area to deliver personal outcome focused intervention within a tiered model of service delivery.
- You will be supported to manage your own workload, maintain appropriate records and work collaboratively with the clients, carers and other agencies to enable and maximise self-management.
- You will have the opportunity to contribute to ongoing development work using quality improvement methodology.
- Where clinically appropriate, we support a blended model of clinic based and home working as part of our regular working patterns. We routinely offer a blend of remote and face to face therapy sessions.
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.
Fife SLT is a lifespan service which is professionally managed within Fife Health and Social Care Partnership. You would be joining a dynamic service, with a robust appraisal system and a strong commitment to distributed leadership, staff wellbeing and development. We have a well-developed peer facilitation/supervision model for speech & language therapists in our service.
