The Macmillan service The current Macmillan caseload is predominantly comprised of post-treatment patients with Head and Neck Cancer with rehabilitative or palliative needs, and this role will provide the opportunity to develop and maintain specialist skills in these areas, including work with laryngectomy and surgical voice restoration (the post holder will be supported by the Macmillan SLT Lead). The Lead SLT is a core member of the Head and Neck Multidisciplinary team but dedicated expert SLT provision is also required for patients with other cancer diagnoses. The role requires work across an inpatient and outpatient setting, with the latter thought to comprise approximately 80% of the workload. Community visiting is carried out in specific circumstances but equates to a small number per year driving is therefore desirable but not essential. The general outpatient service This caseload principally includes ENT voice patients with organic and functional presentations, but also comprises a proportion of patients with dysphagia and/or various communication disorders including neurological aetiologies. The Outpatient Lead will support training requirements, though previous experience in dysphonia management is highly desirable. We run ad hoc SLT-led nasendoscopy clinics for dysphonia, and have access to a Voice Clinic off site. The wider Adult SLT service at Darent Valley Hospital Our friendly and driven team has expanded in recent years (17 SLT staff members) with strong and supportive clinical leadership across Inpatient (Acute/Stroke/Macmillan) and Outpatient (Macmillan/Generalist) specialities. We are passionate about service development including clinical advances to enhance patient care and actively support RCSLT initiatives such as Giving Voice. We also promote MDT and AHP liaison and networking, especially for cancer care. The chosen candidate will receive excellent supervision and support from our well-resourced SLT team. They will be joining a welcoming, energetic and highly innovative department offering regular CPD opportunities both internally and externally. Please watch our recruitment video to hear more. We would be very excited to welcome another passionate SLT into our team!
