Job Title: Adult Community Elderly Care Speech and Language Therapist

We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Speech Therapist to join our team in East Sussex. As a key member of our interdisciplinary team, you will work closely with colleagues to provide high-quality patient care and professional growth.

This exciting opportunity allows you to develop your skills and specialise in managing people with swallowing and communication difficulties in the community setting. You will be part of a county-wide SLT service, offering opportunities to work across both acute and community settings.

The successful candidate will have completed their NQP competencies and ideally have post-basic dysphagia training. This role will allow you to:

About Us

We offer a comprehensive in-service education program, supported by close links with the University of Brighton and other academic institutions. A relocation package is available for successful candidates, and we actively promote staff development through postgraduate courses, CENs, and in-house clinical forums.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to lead the development of a new service area focused on supporting clients with SLT needs and mental health challenges. You will collaborate with external mental health services to develop a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to care.

Key Responsibilities

This role requires someone who has completed their NQPs and is looking for a new post to give them the opportunity to develop their skills and specialise in managing people with swallowing and communication difficulties in the community setting.

The ideal candidate will be able to move between locations in a cost-effective and timely manner, have a reliable work record, and hold Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Clearance.

The salary for this position is estimated to be around £42,000 - £63,000 per annum, depending on experience.
