We are seeking an enthusiastic and adaptable Speech and Language Therapist with the clinical skills and experience to work with adults presenting with a diverse range of needs. A commitment to person-centred practice, strong partnership working, and a passion for achieving positive outcomes alongside service users, families, paid carers and multidisciplinary professionals is essential.
Our specialist team supports adults with learning disabilities to achieve the best outcomes by assessing and managing communication needs and eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). We work closely with individuals, families, carers and multidisciplinary colleagues to deliver person-centred care that is meaningful, effective and empowering.
In addition to providing expert assessment and tailored care plans, we deliver regular dysphagia training to support carers and professionals, with plans to further develop and expand this area of the service.
You'll have opportunities to contribute to service development, benefit from regular protected CPD, and collaborate with experienced colleagues within both Speech and Language Therapy and the wider community learning disability team.

Involve service users, families, carers and wider professionals in the therapy process.
Deliver dysphagia interventions and advise on the safety and clinical appropriateness of oral intake.
Contribute to and deliver dysphagia and communication training to carers, staff teams and other professionals.
Participate in MDT assessments, reviews, meetings and case discussions.
Maintain accurate records and documentation in line with HCPC/RCSLT standards.
Work autonomously while accessing regular clinical and managerial supervision.
Use the Trust's electronic record systems and assist in service development initiatives.
Travel across Somerset to meet service users within homes, community settings and clinics.

About us
Our Poppy's Promise Commitment
We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team -- clinical or non-clinical -- plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times.
We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.
Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding.
By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values -- ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.

Band 6 OPAL Physiotherapist
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 27 day(s) ago
Reference: 2383536
Job summary
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Physiotherapist looking to develop specialist skills in frailty, acute care and admission avoidance within a supportive and innovative multidisciplinary team. The Older Persons Assessment and Liaison (OPAL) Team at Good Hope Hospital are looking for an individual with a genuine passion for working with older people and delivering high-quality, patient-centred care.
The service supports admission avoidance, prevents deconditioning, and promotes independence through specialist assessment and treatment within the Emergency Department, Acute Medical Unit, and Medical Assessment Unit.
This is an exciting time to join the service as OPAL continues to expand, with the development of the Frailty Same Day Emergency Care (FSDEC) unit to provide timely coordinated care for those with urgent healthcare needs that cannot be managed within the community, but who do not require an overnight hospital admission.
A Home First model, OPAL is committed to supporting people to remain independent and return to their home wherever possible. Close partnership working with community services and wider healthcare providers, ensures patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
OPAL is a seven-day service and works collaboratively across disciplines to ensure patients receive timely physiotherapy input when it is needed most.
Main duties of the job
As a Band 6 Physiotherapist, you will use your clinical expertise, leadership skills and knowledge of frailty to assess, treat and support patients throughout their journey, enhancing both patient outcomes and experience. You will be expected to work autonomously, contribute to service development, support junior staff and students, and play an active role within the multidisciplinary team.
The role requires excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to manage sensitive and complex conversations with patients, relatives and carers. You will also be confident in coordinating onward referrals and signposting patients to appropriate community services and support pathways to facilitate safe and effective discharge planning.
About us
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust strives to have an inclusive culture where everyone feels like they belong, can thrive, knows that they add value and feels valued. We do this by developing compassionate and culturally competent leaders, being values driven in all that we do and by creating a welcoming and inclusive workplace that thrives on the diversity of our people. As such we want to attract and recruit talented individuals from all backgrounds, and for each of you to feel supported for the diversity you bring, to achieve your full potential. For those staff with a disability, including physical disability, long term health condition, mental health or neurodiverse condition, this also means being committed to making reasonable adjustments needed for you to carry out your role.
