Exciting opportunities have arisen for suitably qualified Speech and Language Therapists to join the forward-thinking and friendly Children’s Speech and Language Therapy Teams in the Pennine locality. We cover the Burnley and Pendle, Blackburn with Darwen, and Hyndburn Ribble Valley Rossendale areas of Lancashire.
We are committed to improving the communication skills of children and young people while supporting carers and other professionals to enhance their ability to understand and support children with communication needs. The 3 Teams consist of SLTs and OTs working together.
The Children’s Speech & Language Therapy teams provide high-quality services to children with speech, language, and communication difficulties across the locality. We work in a variety of locations, including clinics, children’s homes, nurseries, and schools. We collaborate closely with families and colleagues in health, education, and social care, and you must have excellent communication skills to support these relationships.
You must be enthusiastic and motivated and have experience working with children with diverse speech, language, and communication needs. An interest in managing eating, drinking, and swallowing difficulties is desirable but not essential.
You will manage your own time and caseload effectively and also support assistant practitioners in managing a delegated caseload. We are committed to promoting professional development in all staff, and you should be enthusiastic about developing your leadership skills in service innovation. A significant supervision and support structure is in place to ensure competencies are met and specific areas of interest developed. Demonstrating a proactive approach to your own clinical and professional development and having a sound understanding of evidence-based practice is important.
A flexible and creative approach is essential to enable the service to continue to drive towards improving quality for children and families.
