We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Specialist Speech and Language Therapist to join our acute team delivering high quality care at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Trust - Aintree site.

This post would suit an established band 6 looking to further develop their specialist skills in an acute environment or a suitably experienced band 5. The successful applicant will have a good level of experience working in an adult acute environment and managing a busy dysphagia caseload. You will possess excellent communication skills, demonstrate the ability to work flexibly and have a good understanding of MDT working.

- North Mersey Stroke Services including hyperacute, rehabilitation and Early Supported Discharge

You will be responsible for speech and language therapy assessment, clinical diagnoses and implementation of agreed treatment plans and evaluate care delivery needs for routine and complex patients across each of the clinical rotations.

You will have access to peer support, regular supervision, and training opportunities including tracheostomy and videofluoroscopy. You will take part in and lead service development, audit, and research. The post holder will be actively involved in the support and development of others including therapy assistants, and students. You will also have the opportunity to provide training sessions within the wider MDT.

You will be working as part of a friendly, dynamic and supportive Speech and Language Therapy team who are committed to delivering high quality, patient centred care. You must be open to change and proactive in service improvement and transformation.

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.

The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
