The Adult SLT team at Darent Valley Hospital have an exciting opportunity for a permanent Band 7 Highly Specialist Speech & Language Therapist (0.8wte) to join our team at Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust. We are looking to recruit a dynamic, innovative and skilled Speech and Language Therapist to co-lead the acute inpatient service managing the caseload of acute inpatients including the hospital’s 10-bedded Intensive Care Unit.
We are situated near South-East London with good transport links, where an additional 5% high cost of living allowance applies. We pride ourselves in being a friendly, proactive and flexible team.
The successful candidate will be a senior clinician with specialist experience of acute and critical care work, leading and supporting a team of therapists and therapy assistants to manage the caseload of acute patients. Experience of tracheostomy is essential for this role. There is access to weekly videofluoroscopy and FEES clinics, and while working knowledge and experience of these assessments are highly desirable for the role, we would be pleased to support attainment of additional competencies as required. The post holder will work together with another B7 Acute Lead SLT to jointly manage the acute team, ensuring ongoing clinical governance and service evaluation and development. They will be supervised by the Band 8 Inpatient Lead SLT. Additionally they will work alongside the Stroke SLT team and there are also well established Outpatient and Macmillan teams, and excellent administrative support.
We are committed to being an inclusive and diverse employer. We strive to employ people who reflect the communities we serve, and aim to create an inclusive culture where everyone can reach their full potential. Whatever your race, ethnicity, belief, generation, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity, disability or experience, you’ll appreciate the opportunities we give you to work in an inclusive atmosphere. We welcome applications from people of diverse backgrounds, perspectives and experiences to build on the progress we’ve achieved to make our Trust diverse and the best place to work. We celebrate the diversity of thought, viewpoints and ideas that help us overcome challenges and embrace new possibilities. We have signed the Armed Forces Covenant Pledge and have a commitment to the Armed Forces Community.
We are dedicated to using our Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) approach as our shared organisation model of change to enhance our services and ensure excellence in patient care.
