We're introducing Speech and Language Therapy into forensic services-- and we need enthusiastic, creative SLTs to help make it happen!

You'll be joining an experienced, supportive SLT team that's keen to expand with four new colleagues. Together, we'll transform communication, support engagement in therapeutic care, and create safer spaces for everyone.

If you love collaboration and want to see the impact of your work every day, come and join us!

You will be practicing autonomously as a highly specialised SLT within the area of forensic mental health to provide patient-centred clinical care which will encompass the skills of clinical assessment, examination, diagnosis and treatment within their professional scope of practice.

You will demonstrate safe, competent clinical decision-making and specialised care, demonstrating clinical critical thinking to meet the needs of service users.

You will work collaboratively with wider speech and language teams and stakeholders to maintain the delivery of highest quality, integrated speech and language therapy, supporting the delivery of policy and procedure to sustain the delivery of quality, evidence-based care.

You will have passion, enthusiasm and specialist knowledge of speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) and will have an active role in the development and support of newly qualified and less experienced staff.

Come and work with us at our award-winning NHS Trust, leading the way for trying new and better ways of working to help improve life for our local communities.

We have around 9,000 staff who provide physical and mental healthcare, support for people with learning disabilities, and adult social care across Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent, Shropshire, and Telford & Wrekin. We also run regional and national services, including help for new parents (perinatal care), eating disorders, forensic services, sexual health, and support for people in prison with mental health, drug, or alcohol problems.

We offer great career development for both clinical and non-clinical roles, with ongoing training and support to help you learn and grow.

We are 'United in our Uniqueness' and committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome and can be themselves, no matter their background or identity. We want our staff to feel supported and valued, and we aim to build a team that reflects the communities we serve. Together, we can make sure every voice is heard, and every difference is respected.
