If you have a strong interest in working with adults with complex conditions in a fast-paced environment, come and join our talented team in the state-of-the-art new Royal Liverpool Hospital in the centre of Liverpool.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 Speech and Language Therapist to join our Inpatient Adult Speech and Language Therapy Team. The successful candidate will be part of a innovative team, managing complex dysphagia and communication inpatient caseloads. We cover many different medical specialities including Frailty, A&E, Gastroenterology, Infectious Diseases, Respiratory & Critical Care. This opportunity is also open to experienced Band 5s who are keen to develop into a band 6 role via a training route.
We are a dynamic, supportive, and friendly team who are forward thinking and passionate about evidence-based practice and service development. We are committed to continuing professional development through monthly CPD team events, peer supervision, attendance and presentation at internal and national courses.
As a member of a flexible and supportive team you will have the opportunity to work with a broad range of complex conditions from a range of clinical specialities. You will be supported to further develop your skills in dysphagia and communication as well as caseload management, prioritisation and leadership.
You will have access to expert practitioner SALTs working with advanced dysphagia, critical care, and respiratory conditions. Two videofluoroscopy clinics run weekly and we have a well-established inpatient FEES service. Band 6 staff have the opportunity to become videofluoroscopy competent practitioners.
You will work as part of the wider multi-disciplinary team across the hospital. SLTs regularly attend Feeding Issues MDT and jointly work with the Learning Disability Team and Dementia Team to provide holistic patient care. There is SLT representation in many hospital wide multi professional working groups such as oral care, nutrition and hydration, communication and tracheostomy.
We have a clear supervision structure and advice is available from our highly skilled Clinical Specialists. Band 6 employees are required to supervise Band 5 and assistant staff and deputise for clinical team leads.
