Specialist Speech and Language Therapist
We have an exciting opportunity for a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, working with adults with learning (intellectual) disabilities in the Cambridgeshire Learning Disability Partnership (LDP). The service is well-established and there are many opportunities for development.
The LDP comprises five locality-based integrated community specialist health and care management Teams (Social Workers, Adult Support Co-ordinators, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Occupational, Arts, and Speech & Language Therapists) and day and accommodation services organised by the Local Authority for adults with a learning disability. The SLT team comprises a Band 8a Lead Speech and Language Therapist, two Band 7 Advanced SLTs two Band 6 Specialist SLTs and a Band 4 Apprentice SLT, all employed by CPFT.
The five teams aim to provide person-centred integrated specialist health and care management services that promote an individual’s right to choice, independence, health and wellbeing in line with their assessed needs and in a way that will promote their reaching their full potential.
