Job overview

We have an exciting opportunity within a very successful, positive and vibrant service, for an experienced Speech and Language Therapist who may be looking for their next opportunity to develop their knowledge and leadership skills within the NHS.

You will work within an MDT to provide highly specialist assessment and diagnosis for children aged between 0 and 19 for ASD, alongside providing supportive advice to parents and other agencies in all issues related to the autism pathway, and will join an established team of SALT within this service.

This role is based at Colchester Hospital at the Primary Care Centre, though there are some clinics operating at our satellite hospitals at Clacton, Harwich and Halstead, so it is essential that applicants can drive and have access to their own vehicle.

We are the largest NHS organisation in East Anglia, employing more than 12,000 staff. 

We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options. 

Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services. 

Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.

We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients. 

If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
