Band 5 Rotational Speech & Language Therapist - Adult Acute Wards/Stroke


The Speech & Language Therapy team at Southend Hospital have a long history of developing Band 5 therapists to be confident, effective and skilled practitioners.

We would like to offer the successful applicant the opportunity to share in this history and develop skills learnt in university and placements/first posts to complete your NQT competencies.

Proactive training and supervision in dysphagia management occurs from commencement of the post, and as your confidence and skill set increase we actively support exposure to videofluoroscopy, and have plans for FEES observation as we develop this service within the team.

We foster good links with our community colleagues to ensure seamless care for patients who may need continuing care post discharge.

The post rotates with other Band 5 post holders across stroke management and acute ward service provision.

Our service always strives to provide evidence based practice, whilst keeping the patient at the centre of our focus and care, and balancing the pressures of caseload capacities and other management issues.

The team is friendly and caring of each other as well as the patients, and we welcome fresh ideas and are proactive in looking at new assessment/treatment options as research grows within the speech & language therapy community as a whole.


As one of the biggest trusts in the country the ambition of Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients, & provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.


We are a very friendly Speech & Language Therapy team who seek to enable all staff to progress to their maximum potential, and to support their colleagues to do the same.


With a strong ethos in evidence based practice and supportive patient intervention, the team works across acute and stroke wards to provide excellent patient intervention and therapy within the acute phase of their illness.

We foster good links with our community colleagues to ensure seamless care for patients who may need continuing care post discharge.
