Description
We now have an exciting opportunity for a part time Advanced Speech and Language Therapist, working with adults with learning (intellectual) disabilities in the Cambridgeshire Learning Disability Partnership (LDP). The post will be a job share with an experienced Band 7 SLT. The service is well-established and there are many opportunities for development.
The LDP consists of five integrated specialist health and social care teams, as well as local authority run day and accommodation services for adults with a learning disability.
The five integrated locality teams aim to ensure the assessment and provision of person centred specialist health and social care services that promote an individual's right to choice, independence, health and wellbeing in line with their assessed needs and in a way that enables them to reach their full potential.
Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services, not only via inpatient and primary care settings, but also within the community. These services include children's, adult and older people's mental health, forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care and liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, research and development.
To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high-calibre candidates who share our vision and values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including disabled people and members of ourethnic minority andLGBTQ+ communities.
