Maidstone, United Kingdom Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust Full time

Low and Medium secure services, with a passion for Speech and Language service development, are seeking an e nthusiastic, motivated and forward-thinking Speech and Language Therapist.

We are really excited to be able to offer this 12-month pilot post opportunity to an enthusiastic and motivated Speech and Language Therapist as either a fixed term contract or secondment.

We recognise that understanding and responding to the speech, language and communication needs of our patients plays an incredibly important role in the assessment and treatment of the individuals that we work with in mental health services. For that reason, we are looking to recruit an experienced Speech and Language Therapist to join our medium and low-secure mental health inpatient services to help us develop our offer in this area.

We think that this could be a really exciting opportunity for someone to come in and help design and shape the therapeutic offer within these services and they are really enthusiastic at the prospect of having Speech and Language Therapy input.

The Trevor Gibbens Unit is a 66 bedded medium secure service in Maidstone, providing mental health assessment and treatment to both men and women. The Allington Centre is a 20 bedded low secure service in Dartford providing assessment and treatment to men only. Patients within these services will present with a range of mental health diagnoses but may also present with comorbidities including neurodiversity, substance misuse or cognitive differences. The successful applicant would be expected to work across these two services, however, there is flexibility as to how their time is split.

Come and work with us in the Garden of England where we combine exceptional professional development opportunities with a tremendous quality of life.

We are Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust (KMPT), providing mental health, learning disability and specialist services, serving 1.8 million people in Kent and Medway, as well as specialist services for adults in Sussex and Surrey. We are rated Good overall by the CQC.
