Job overview
3 x Band 5 Speech and Language Therapists
Are you about to graduate and looking for your first Speech and Language Therapy post or are you a qualified band 5 looking for opportunities in new clinical areas? Stop your search! We have three Band 5 Speech and Language Therapist posts for you to apply for with opportunities in Adults and Paediatrics.
We are looking to recruit three self-motivated, enthusiastic and organised Speech and Language Therapists to join our well established and expanding services in BCUHB East Integrated Health Community, covering Wrexham and Flintshire.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
Main duties of the job
Our SLT department covers both adults and paediatrics so we are able to offer roles in either service as we are keen to develop your interests where we can. If you are undecided on your career path, we may be able to offer a mixed role. You will provide assessment, advice and therapy to your allocated caseload with a range of speech, language, communication and EDS needs, working with them, their families and supporting agencies in a range of settings.
We have a whole service approach, which means that whichever team you are based in, you will have strong links and access to the support of friendly, experienced SLTs and TIs. We are a forward thinking department and you will need to show flexibility and innovation and share in the team’s passion for delivering quality patient led care.
We offer a comprehensive and structured induction to new starters followed by high quality clinical supervision, regular team meetings and exciting CPD opportunities. We pride ourselves on our strong NQP support network, with colleagues with extensive skills and experience to help you develop as a SLT. You will receive regular management and clinical supervision as well as having access to a mentor to support acquisition of NQP competencies. The ability to speak Welsh is desirable but not essential for these roles.
We welcome informal visits and would love to hear from you with any queries. In your application, please specify if you are interested in an adults, paediatric or mixed role.
