    Description

    Job overview

    Due to maternity leave we are looking for a Clinical Lead Speech and Language Therapist with a particular interest in Learning Disabilities and Autism. This is a unique opportunity to be based within an Outstanding SEN School in Islington, and Lead a small Team of Speech and Language Therapists to develop the SLT offer within the school. The post holder will carry a clinical caseload whilst having time for service development and supervision.

    Islington Additional Needs and Disability Service (IANDS) provides a multi-agency team approach to working with babies, children and young people who present with additional and complex disabilities, across the borough, working in partnership with education, social care and the voluntary sector. All teams in this service are managed by a Team Leader who are responsible for the day to running and management of the overall teams.

    This post will be part of the special school's team and will be primarily based at the Bridge school.

    Bridge Academy is an outstanding school for children with significant learning needs and a high percentage of students have a diagnosis of autism and experience a range of difficulties including sensory, learning and communication challenges.

    Main duties of the job

    The post holder is an autonomous practitioner and is responsible for organising and managing a defined caseload of children across the Bridge School. They are responsible for delivering a comprehensive and highly specialist service to children and young people with complex needs which may include autism, severe and complex learning difficulties, sensory impairments and / or dysphagia.

    They will provide clinical supervision and support to less experienced colleagues, unqualified staff and staff from other disciplines and agencies when required, both within the team and the wider service; this will include the provision of second opinions.

    The post holder will have excellent communication skills and the ability to empathise in order to support and counsel parents to accept the implications of their child's special needs. They will be able to communicate complex information effectively taking into account the barriers to communication presented by the diverse caseload.

    They will be skilled in working in and liaising within a multi-disciplinary and multi-agency environment. The clinician's practice at an advanced level of expertise in the field of complex needs will ensure that s/he can reassure and instil confidence in clients, carers and other professionals. They will demonstrate excellent negotiation skills in working with other team members, parents/carers or other professionals.

    Working for our organisation

    Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
