Apprentice Speech and Language Therapist

2 weeks ago


Birmingham, United Kingdom Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Speech and language therapy provides treatment, support and care for children and adults who have difficulties with communication, or with eating, drinking and swallowing. Speech and language therapists (SLTs) are allied health professionals. We work with parents, carers and other professionals, such as teachers, nurses, occupational therapists and doctors. There are around 20,000 practising SLTs in the UK working in a variety of settings.

The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) have estimated that 80% of service users in mental health settings have an identified speech, language and/or communication difficulty. Studies have also found that there is a higher prevalence of swallowing difficulties and higher rate of choking among service users in mental health settings.

During the apprenticeship you will be given training and support to work as an assistant in the speech and language therapy team, while at the same time studying towards an undergraduate degree in Speech and Language Therapy at Birmingham City University. The degree course is fully funded as part of this apprenticeship.

This role will involve working across multiple sites and locations and attended classes at Birmingham City University.

Welcome to Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. Our 4000 clinical and support staff help us to improve mental health wellbeing and meet the needs of the 70,000 people we serve each year. We provide a range of mental healthcare services across Birmingham and Solihull, as well as specialised services nationally. We also offer medical, nursing and psychology training and are proud of our international reputation for both research and innovation.

Our population is culturally diverse, characterised in places by high levels of deprivation which create an increasing demand for our services and a necessity for us to make sure everyone can access the help they need. We are a team of compassionate, inclusive and committed people working together to provide excellent care to support our community. If you are looking for a place to belong, where you can make a real difference to people’s lives, join our team where our warm welcome is waiting for you.
