Description
Job overview
We are looking for a highly motivated Speech and Language Therapist to be part of the Specialist Learning Disability service in Swindon. We provide specialist provision in the community for adults with a Learning Disability. The service is integrated with an autism diagnostic service.
You will hold your own community SALT caseload, including communication and dysphagia assessments (training provided), as well as providing advice and support to the team around communication. You will be a part of a professional, multi-disciplinary team that values a holistic approach to care and understands the need to share and support each other professionally. You will also belong to AWP's network of SALT's and have opportunities to support service development.
You will use your core skills to work with those with complex health needs, by improving function and access to opportunities in the community, by supporting Carers and other support staff to promote social inclusion, liaising closely with generic services.
This is a great opportunity for you to share your passion, knowledge and professional skillset. So if you are seeking to develop your specialist role, because you have excellent clinical skills and you are ambitious to progress your career to transform the lives of people with a learning disability, then apply for this role.
