Are you an experienced band 5 or 6 therapist who is keen to work as part of a specialist multi‑disciplinary rehabilitation service?
Fife Speech and Language Therapy Service has an opportunity for you to join the forward‑thinking team based at Glenrothes Hospital as part of the Fife Stroke and Neuro‑Rehabilitation Service. This provides a Fife‑wide interdisciplinary assessment and neuro‑rehabilitation service on an inpatient, outpatient and community basis and supports self‑management of long‑term neurological conditions. You will also work with the wider adult‑acquired SLT team to deliver the service to a designated caseload within the local community and act as the SLT service link to enable early input to patients repatriated from Lothian Major Trauma Centre.
Working with adults with acquired conditions, their families / carers and other professionals you will implement personal‑outcomes focused intervention. Clinical decision making in the service is supported by Care Aims, so an understanding of this methodology would be an advantage.
You will bring knowledge and experience of working autonomously with adults with acquired communication and swallowing difficulties and will collaborate closely with clinical lead therapists for community, stroke and neuro‑rehab. You will be given opportunities to demonstrate leadership within your role and will contribute to the ongoing development of a quality service within the tiered model of intervention.
The SLT Service is professionally managed within Fife Health and Social Care Partnership and you will be joining a dynamic service with a well‑developed peer facilitation / supervision model and a strong commitment to staff wellbeing and development. The service supports a blended model of remote, on‑site and home working for non‑clinical / non‑interventional activity associated with individual posts.
A requirement of this post is to become a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme prior to appointment.
