Do you have the passion to make a difference to people’s lives following a neurological event?
The Coventry Community Neuro and Stroke Rehab Services (CINSS) are looking for a highly motivated Speech and Language Therapist to join their interdisciplinary team.
About the Service
The service is a community-based interdisciplinary therapy team, who support the timely discharge of patients from hospital. These patients have ongoing rehabilitation or neuro management needs following a new or worsening presentation of a neurological condition, both stroke, and non-stroke.
The teams work collaboratively with acute services, rehab and community networks and third sector services to deliver a patient-centred, goal-focused approach to rehabilitation. Our team is an integral part of the stroke pathway, in-reaching into both stroke and in-patient rehab settings.
About the Role
This post will offer you the opportunity to consolidate and develop neurological and wider clinical skills, as well as giving you the opportunity to be part of quality improvement projects and service developments, working closely with other Speech and Language Therapists and the wider team.
Key Requirements
- Compassionate, dedicated team player
- Motivated by meaningful, holistic rehabilitation which is centred around patient goals and their life roles
- Excellent communication skills
- Ability to work independently and effectively within the Community Stroke and Integrated Neuro Rehab Service
- Ability to prioritise your workload and time effectively to support an integrated approach
