The role includes providing consultative specialist advice and support for Community stroke and neuro SLTs working in the field of dysphagia and the setting up, overseeing and evaluation of a pilot SWL Community Fibre-optic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) Service.

The service is committed to continuing professional development and offers many learning opportunities through in-house training, journal clubs, peer support and specialist courses as required.

Main duties of the job

This may involve advising or providing joint sessions, second opinions and supporting SLTs to deliver highly specialist treatment and advice for highly complex dysphagia presentations.

Leadership of the Community FEES SW London Service:

The post holder will be the Lead SLT responsible for setting up and overseeing the SWL Community Fibre-optic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) Service, (one year pilot project).

The post holder will be expected to gather data and user feedback on the impact of the Community FEES service. It will be the post holder's responsibility to collate, present and distribute project findings to the appropriate bodies (e.g. ICB, National SQUIRE Team, RCSLT). This will contribute to growing body of knowledge and evidence for the use of FEES in the community and help secure funding beyond the life of the pilot.
