Are you looking to develop your leadership skills and develop services to provide the best quality care for patients?

The Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) service at Nottingham University Hospital (NUH) Trust has recently undergone significant transition. The acute paediatric/neonatal SLT service has merged with the service for Adult acute and neuro-rehabilitation beds. The service is now employed directly by NUH. This has created opportunities for increased levels of engagement within the acute Trust and has provided exciting opportunities around how the service is delivered.

You will work alongside other band 7 colleagues and will have designated responsibility with a clinical focus on an aspect of our service, such as frailty, respiratory medicine, admissions and end of life care, as well as team leader responsibilities.

You will be working across our acute sites, working with a range of patients across different specialties including regional services. There will be opportunities for you to develop you instrumental swallow assessment skills in FEES and videofluoroscopy.

The post holder will provide day to day management of the service and provide high quality clinical supervision.

The post holder may also lead on strategic developments within their specialism, in liaison with their colleagues and service leads.

This is a full time post but we would consider part time as well as fixed term contracts. There maybe an additional requirement to work on the weekend and bank holidays as part of a rota.
