Overview
HCT provides integrated Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy Services for families across the county of Hertfordshire. Our service is jointly commissioned by health and education, allowing us to provide a seamless pathway of care from early years through to schools, specialist provisions and further education settings. We have excellent joint working relationships with our partners in education and a wide range of stakeholders, and we work in partnership with them to deliver interventions at Universal, Targeted and Specialist levels across Hertfordshire.
If so, we would welcome your application for a Band 6 SLT role within our service. Whether you\'re just curious or ready to apply, we\'d love to chat with you. Informal conversations and visits are more than welcome. Applicants wanting to work full time or part time will be considered. What a team member says: \'I love working in CYP Therapies - there is an ethos of peer support and encouragement & sharing learning; there is a sense of belonging and always time for a quick chat… and plenty of laughs. I feel valued here and I value my lovely colleagues and the fabulous children & young people we work with.\'
Come and join a team where your voice matters - and so does every child.
In addition to the basic salary, this post attracts a High Cost Area Supplement of 5% of basic salary subject to a minimum payment of £1,935 and a maximum payment of £2,198 per annum pro rata (pro rata where applicable and dependent on base location).
