The Dorset Children and Young People's Speech and Language Therapy Service is seeking enthusiastic, forward thinking, team players to join our friendly and supportive team of speech and language therapists.

An opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 therapist in the Poole, Purbeck & Dorset East and Christchurch team.

This role is suitable for Speech and Language Therapists already working in a Band 6 role and for Band 5 Speech and Language Therapists who can demonstrate growing skills in a specialist area.

You will receive regular management from your team lead as well as peer and 1:1 clinical supervision. You will have access to a range of clinical lead specialists for advice and guidance. There are excellent opportunities to access formal and informal training. New initiatives are always welcome and taken forward within the context of our transformation work to The Balanced System.

To provide a high quality person centred approach to care delivery which always considers people’s safety, privacy and dignity.

To provide specialist care and interventions, assessments, treatments and managing patients on a caseload, as part of the wider multi-disciplinary care team.
