Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
Come and join our friendly, creative service in Hampshire. We have an opportunity for a Band 6 Therapist with RCSLT and HCPC registration to join our enthusiastic and person-centered team. We work with adults with Learning Disabilities in the community, empowering them to live healthier, happier lives.
Main duties of the job
You will work within our multi-professional Community Learning Disability Team, supporting people to meet their communication and/or dysphagia goals. The North and West Hampshire Community Learning Disability Team has bases in Winchester, Basingstoke, and Tatchbury, and base location can be flexible for the right candidate. Full time and part time hours will be considered.
You will be directly supervised by a senior Speech and Language Therapist, though an ability to work autonomously will be integral to the role.
You will be well supported by the immediate multi-disciplinary team and will also benefit from linking closely with the Speech and Language Therapists across Community Learning Disability Teams in Hampshire. We have an active journal club and meet regularly for Continuing Professional Development, peer supervision, and service development.
This is an exciting opportunity for a Band 6 Therapist looking to enhance their skills and knowledge in this specialist field.
