About The Role

LGBT Foundation is an impactful, vibrant charity with a wide portfolio of well-established services

and rapidly developing new initiatives aimed at meeting the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and

trans people.

Indigo is Greater Manchester’s NHS trans healthcare service. We are a regional and person-centred service, which is primary care-led. We enable trans, non-binary and gender variant people

to reach their full potential by gender-affirming care. Indigo is delivered as a joint venture

between LGBT Foundation and gtd healthcare.

Trans is an umbrella & inclusive term used to describe people whose gender identity differs in some way from that which they were assigned at birth; including non-binary people, cross dressers and those who partially or incompletely identify with their sex assigned at birth.

The post holder will provide a Speech and Language Therapy service (also known as Voice &

Communication) for trans and non-binary people at Indigo. They will also work as the Team Lead

for the Voice and Communication Therapy team, managing and developing the service.

As this role focuses on working for a service specifically designed by and for trans and non-binary

communities, we believe lived experience of being trans and/or non-binary and having

experienced NHS gender transition services will be hugely valuable to the role.

Our values and behaviours are an important part of who we are; we feel it is essential to get the

right people to work with us, so these values need to be as important to you as they are to us.

We are taking positive action to encourage applications from people of colour (PoC) and other

racially minoritised communities, trans*, non-binary, and/or older people (aged 50+), to improve

the representation of colleagues from these communities in our staff team.

Role Accountabilities

Supervision and Line Management of the Band 5/6 Speech and Language Therapist within

the service.

Provide clinical supervision to the Band 5/6 therapist in the service, to discuss complex cases

and be a point of clinical escalation. Provide line management, support and regular check-ins

with the band 5/6. Oversee allocation of clinical activities and line management.

Service Delivery, including interventions with service users.

In collaboration with the multi-disciplinary team, the post holder will assess, treat and manage

their own caseload as well as providing clinical support to others on speech and language

therapy issues.

Independently manage a complex caseload, with appropriate supervision.

The post holder will employ evidence-based practice (EBP), promoting this approach to all staff, volunteers and students.

Reporting and Monitoring of Data.

Collect and monitor data and produce reports for Head of Operations, Business Manager and

Commissioners regarding the Voice and Communication Therapy service within Indigo.

Service Development and Planning.

Contribute to the development, implementation, monitoring and adjustment of care pathways in

collaboration with the Senior Leadership Team.

Be responsible for creating, improving and implementing any standard operating procedures

(SOPs) and Voice and Communication Therapy-specific policies. Plan service delivery and work

on improvements to balance clinical excellence and the demands of a busy service, such as

efficient waiting list management.
