Band 4: Speech and Language Therapy Assistant Practitioner
Based in Hartlepool / Stockton Localities
From April 1st 2025, there will be a single Children & Young People’s Speech & Language Therapy Service across the Tees Valley covering local authority areas of: Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton.
This is an exciting new development that brings together speech and language therapy services in the local area to deliver support in a flexible, responsive and equitable way.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual who is interested in supporting children with a wide range of speech, language or communication difficulties. This is a full time, permanent post based in the Stockton and Hartlepool localities.
You will work as part of a team to deliver high quality interventions under the supervision of qualified Speech and Language Therapists. You are likely to work across a range of settings, including schools, nurseries, clinics and homes.
You will join a team of Speech and Language Therapists and Assistant Practitioners, supported by a Service Lead and an Administration Team. The service has a strong commitment to support and supervision, with excellent working relationships with multi-disciplinary teams and colleagues within the trust. We also work positively with partners in the area.
At North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, our main priority is to provide safe and high quality care to our patients every day; the kind of care we would want for ourselves and our loved ones. We want our organisation to be the best place to work with the right staff, in the right roles, at the right time, to ensure we deliver exceptional patient care and experience.
We will support staff through providing an inclusive and supportive workplace with health and well-being initiatives, staff benefits and opportunities for personal and professional development. Staff recognition is very important to us; as well as performance reviews and appraisals, we recognise staff through Star and Team of the month, colleague recognition – a note of thanks, Managers Awards, Shining Stars and Service Awards.
We recruit for values and “Together we are North Tees & Hartlepool”.
