You will have responsibility to manage patient assessment & treatment decisions, and ensure excellent liaison with SaLT and MDT colleagues.

You may be required to contribute to the development of the SaLT team, including student supervision, NQP supervision, and in house CPD. You would be involved in wider department initiatives such as link roles, improving MDT working in specific areas (e.g. on the new elderly ward, in-patient PD or Stroke) as well as being involved in training hospital staff in communication and swallowing.

The SaLT team embraces new ways of working and has worked hard to be at the forefront of helpful and emerging technology. Therefore your patients have access to a range of instrumental dysphagia investigations for swallow assessments and instrumental devices for treatment. For patients with communication disorders, we have a broad range of computer based therapy available, and quick access to AAC.

We feel strongly that it is important to provide our SaLT team members with as much training and development as we can and as needed, and as a small team we meet often. We thrive on an ethos of sharing our learning, being supportive to each other, and being helpful and flexible at work when needed.
