We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Speech and Language Therapist to join our existing Adult Speech and Language Therapy Team.

The Medical adult Speech and Language Therapy team based at York Hospital is responsible for delivering care across all aspects of the patient journey (inpatients, outpatients, community and specialist services such as Stroke).

You will be working with a varied caseload, including progressive neurology, frailty, dementia, respiratory, and other aetiologies. Work will be mixed across community visits and our specialist outpatient clinic space. The role will be based at York Hospital and will deliver input to patients in their own homes by providing assessment, differential diagnosis and management/therapy for communication and swallowing disorders. We have a weekly Speech and Language Therapy led Videofluoroscopy service.

Access to a vehicle that can be used for business purposes and hold a full and valid driving licence (role will involve travel to numerous addresses that cannot be easily accessed by public transport means) is required.

You will demonstrate sound skills in the assessment, differential diagnosis and management of adult communication and swallowing disorders in a community setting.

You will liaise closely with multidisciplinary teams, families, carers, GPs and AHPs to provide holistic care to your patients.

You will be well supported by the Advanced Clinical Specialist Speech & Language Therapists, as well as the Team Manager and the Professional Lead for Speech & Language Therapy.

You will contribute to service development by taking an active role in leading on projects and supporting the Advanced Clinical Specialists with audits and research. You will also contribute to providing engaging student placements.

You will have access to:

• weekly SLT-Led Videofluoroscopy clinics
• regular full team and smaller clinical team meetings
• a comprehensive programme of supervision and support

You will have a full driving license and be able to transport yourself and your equipment independently across the region. Trust pool cars are available.

You will need to be flexible with time and skills, in order to respond to the needs of the service. This may involve some acute inpatient work at times.

Access to the NHS Pension Scheme, providing generous benefits upon retirement, as well as a lump sum and pension for dependants

27 days holiday rising to 33 days (depending on NHS Trust service)

A generous relocation package of up to 30% of salary (capped at £18k) to support with relocation expenses for hard to fill positions where relocation would be an expectation to undertake the role fully.
