2 weeks ago


Liverpool, United Kingdom Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Full/Part time positions available

We have an exciting opportunity for a band 7 Speech and Language Therapist to join the LUHFT stroke team. The post is predominantly based within Aintree stroke services but you will be expected to support and work across the stroke pathway as required.

This is an exciting time for stroke services in North Mersey as we prepare to open our new Stroke Assessment Centre and develop our cross pathway therapy service. The post holder will work closely with colleagues across the stroke pathway at LUHFT, partnership trusts as well as across the Cheshire and Mersey footprint to ensure the development of strong networks across the region.

You will be offered opportunities to further develop your leadership and management skills alongside your clinical skills.

The post holder will contribute clinically to the caseload specific to their own discipline but will be expected to support the Stroke team Therapy Lead and Advanced Clinical Practitioner to deliver new ways of working to achieve team objectives in line with the development of the North Mersey Stroke Service and wider therapy service.

You will be expected to act as an innovative, enthusiastic role model providing leadership, guidance, and support to staff on the daily operational areas within the team.

The successful post holder will be expected to contribute to weekend and evening shift pattern within their own discipline.

The post holder will ideally be competent in objective dysphagia assessment (either FEEs or Videofluoroscopy) although training can be supported for the right applicant.

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.

The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
