An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our dynamic therapy team. We are looking for a full-time band 3 Speech and Language Therapy Assistant.

This is a permanent post, working in our Acute Stroke team at the Lister Hospital.

The post-holder will need to be organised, enthusiastic, a good communicator and ideally have previous experience in a rehabilitation or care delivery setting. You will be assisting in the rehabilitation of patients with a wide range of neurological needs (including physical, communication and cognitive) which may include both individual sessions and group work. You will be working closely with the Speech and Language Therapists and a wider MDT including the medical team, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists and Nurses. You will need to be able to keep accurate clinical records and have good clerical/ administrative skills.

The post-holder will be responsible for supporting Speech and Language Therapists with the assessment and management of adults with acquired communication, speech, language or eating and drinking disorders.

You will carry out therapy plans with patients who have recently had a stroke, building excellent rapport with patients and providing them with a high level of care.

You will need to be able to keep accurate clinical records and have good clerical/ administrative skills.

You will support the team with resource building, such as low tech augmentative and alternative communication aids (AAC).

The Speech and Language Therapy Service in East & North Hertfordshire is an integrated acute and community service covering community clinics, inpatient Neurological Rehabilitation and the Acute and Stroke teams based at the Lister Hospital. There are frequent opportunities for gaining skills in other areas and career progression.

You will be joining a highly experienced team of Speech and Language Therapists who work innovatively across acute, community and neurological rehabilitation settings. You will be working within an established and dynamic MDT, with multiple opportunities for joint working.

We put our patients, their families and carers at the centre of our vision - Outstanding Services and Healthier Communities.

Our staff are proud to be Innovative, Caring and Agile in their work to help achieve the Trust vision. We welcome diversity in our workforce and are interested in applicants from all backgrounds.

Word versions of documents are available if needed to allow for any adaptations to be made i.e. font, colour, background, convert to Read Aloud.

**The SLT service offers the following**:

- Regular whole service and local team meetings
- Structured in-service training and support for external courses
- Multidisciplinary team working
- Regular clinical supervision and annual appraisal
- Encouragement to participate in service development projects
- Clinical leads for advice, support and supervision
