We are looking for an enthusiastic and dynamic Speech & Language Therapist to extend their clinical skills in the acute adult inpatient setting. You should be experienced in managing dysphagia and communication impairment across a broad range of disorders and will be expected to take SLT students on clinical placements with support from universities and colleagues.
Although this role is based at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, the position includes working closely with teams at Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and potentially Andover War Memorial Hospital when staff are on leave.
We are keen to recruit someone who will promote the Speech & Language Therapy service across the Trust with passion and enthusiasm. The successful post-holder must demonstrate flexibility, the ability to work under pressure, and a willingness to involve in future service development.
We value staff development and provide a range of training and personal development opportunities through an established program of clinical supervision, peer support, and in-house education.
Main Duties of the Job
* Provide a specialist inpatient speech and language therapy service to adults with acquired communication and EDS disorders.
* Work as an autonomous practitioner in partnership with patients, families, carers and other health professionals to deliver integrated care for adults with acquired communication and EDS difficulties.
* Supervise and train SLT students, other health professionals, and staff from other agencies working with adults with acquired communication and EDS difficulties.
* Provide general support and mentorship to less experienced SLT colleagues within the adult service.
* Provide clinical supervision and/or line management (as required) to the Band 5 post-holder.
* Offer training to other health professional colleagues and agencies.
* Use IT skills accurately to optimise patient care.
* Work bank holidays on a rota basis agreed with the team.
Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, and Andover War Memorial Hospital.
