Description

An exciting development opportunity has arisen for a Band 3 therapy assistant to work with our Children's Speech and Language Therapy team supporting children, young people and their families in Boston, Spalding and surrounding areas.

This role involves delivering individual therapy programmes to children and young people with a wide variety of speech, language and communication difficulties.

You will join a friendly, dynamic and supportive children's team who meet for training, peer support and clinical supervision.

You should have experience working with children ideally within a health or educational setting but you will receive training, mentoring and support to develop your skills in supporting communication development.

The Children's Speech and Language Therapy Service provides a countywide service to children in Lincolnshire.

The team works in a range of settings and you will deliver services in a variety of environments including mainstream and special schools, nurseries, and clinics.

It is anticipated that service delivery will be completed in areas not accessible by public transport.

You will work closely with colleagues from other services and agencies including the Children's Physiotherapy service, Occupational Therapy service and Education.

Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust is in the top 25 per cent of all community trusts for overall staff engagement in the 2021 NHS National Staff Survey.

LCHS recognises the increasing demand for more flexibility in working practices in order to accommodate the personal goals and commitments that employees experience at different stages during their working lives.

Flexible working opportunities such as part-time working, compressed hours, job shares, and hybrid working models can help staff to balance their personal and work commitments.

Arrangements can be put in place if it can be shown that the needs of the individual can be balanced with those of the service and the impact on other team members, enabling the Trust to recruit and retain skilled staff, raise staff morale, reduce absenteeism and respond to changing service needs more effectively.

Please see the attached job description and person specification for full details and requirements of this post.
