Description

If you are you looking for a challenge, are passionate about rehabilitation and have experience of working within a healthcare or hospital setting this might be the job for you.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our in-patient Speech and Language Therapy service as an assistant, supporting patients with both communication and swallowing needs as a result of stroke or ill health.

We are looking for a motivated and committed individual to join our team.

This post would require you to support the rehabilitation of patients who have been diagnosed with a stroke and require rehabilitation whilst in hospital.

You may also have the opportunity to work on other hospital wards with patients needing care from the Speech and Language Therapy Team.

You will be encouraged to learn from and work closely within our speech therapists and also physiotherapists, occupational therapists and dietitians to develop skills to carry out communication and swallowing treatment programmes and help our patients maximise their recovery.

This is a part time post (30 hours/ 4 days) working in a hospital ward environment.
