Sittingbourne ME HE, United Kingdom Medway Community Healthcare Full time £35,000 - £45,000 per year

We're looking for someone:

To work as a member of the CTT who undertake highly skilled and specific therapy programmes to children in schools, at the Orchards centre and in other community locations.

To implement treatment programmes for children on the speech and language therapy caseload and /or occupational therapy caseload who require therapy to be delivered by telephone, virtual (video) or face to face.

To combine programmes for speech and language therapy, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy as required.

To run sessions independently and with other members of the CTT.

To provide appropriate advice to families, carers and school staff in a variety of settings and feedback to the appropriate therapists.

This role is predominantly to work with children in early years (2yrs +) and early primary school years. Often working with non-speaking children who may have developmental delays, challenging behaviour and/or children being assessed for neurodivergent conditions.

So what else?

This is your chance to join a progressive and innovative service in a social enterprise that is patient and staff focused - you'll even have the opportunity to become an MCH shareholder.

We encourage staff to get involved in exploring new ways of working and service development.

We'll provide well established, in-service training, one to one supervision, and appraisals with regular support.

You'll be able to develop your skills in a friendly and supportive team.

Would you like to work flexibly? In the NHS, we are reminded every day of how important work life balance is. As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us, for our patients and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement.

The small print

Informal visits can be arranged on request.

We will offer you the choice of two pension schemes; the NHS Pension scheme and the scottish widows group pension scheme.

MCH encourages all staff to be double COVID vaccinated to protect themselves, their colleagues, their family and their patients.

See attached job description

You will be required to travel between the clinic, nurseries and schools and must be able to do so in a timely manner.

This position is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

We are committed to the safeguarding and welfare of children and vulnerable adults.

All appointments will be subject to a six-month probationary period.
