Speech and Language Therapist

The SLT department at PHU provides a highly specialist service to the hospital and always puts patient safety and quality at the centre of our care. We provide a comprehensive dysphagia training programme across the hospital working with the simulation suite and have CAUK status. We pride ourselves on our close working relationships with all of our multi-disciplinary colleagues and you will join a well-led and cohesive service of committed therapists and other AHPs. You will report directly to the Clinical Therapy Lead on team performance, operational implementation of work streams and service delivery issues.

You will help to develop a competency driven, flexible and responsive workforce, and will be responsible for implementing change at team level in line with the Trusts strategic aims. We will support you to develop your leadership and clinical skills following the Trusts Learning and Development programmes and with external training opportunities. You will have a consistent supervisor who will meet you regularly for 1:1 support and there is good Band 7 peer support within the therapies department. If you have a positive attitude to team working, a passion for stroke care and an integrated approach please get in touch.
