    Specialist Speech and Language Therapist - Birmingham, United Kingdom - Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust

    Default job background
    Permanent
    Description

    Job summary

    The Adult Speech and Language Therapy Service at Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust is excited to recruit a band 6 in voice disorders into our innovative and ambitious therapies structure at a time of considerable and exciting change as the trust works towards its move to the state of the art Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH) later in 2024.

    Our Speech and Language Therapy team, based across Sandwell, City and Rowley Regis hospital sites, are a welcoming and aspirational group of therapists with a clear vision and strong commitment to improving the lives of local people. We have a strong focus upon delivering patient-centred care and embedding 'what matters to you' care principles into all of our work. We also place equal emphasis upon caring for each other and are proud to work within a trust that champions the health and well-being of its staff.

    Main duties of the job

    We are seeking an individual to work independently with an ENT voice out-patient caseload and use highly developed interpersonal skills to establish strong relationships with a range of key individuals within our MDT. The caseload will be managed from our retained estates at Sandwell and City hospital sites; will involve management of dysphagia presentations, and at times will provide clinical in-reach to the MMUH hospital setting for voice/ENT presentations, so candidates will need to demonstrate clinical skills to manage this.

    Candidates will be joining our voice service at a time of challenge and considerable opportunity and freedom for change. We are continually exploring new and innovative ways of working and openly invite candidates with passion and enthusiasm for developing within this clinical specialist field.

    Our Speech and Language Therapy service has a well-established videofluoroscopy service and in-patient FEES, so successful candidates will be able to expand their own clinical skills portfolio in these areas, learning from highly specialist clinicians and leaders in the SLT service. There are also ample opportunities for clinical learning within joint ENT voice clinics alongside supportive consultant colleagues.

    If this sounds like the opportunity for you, I encourage candidates to call and discuss the post further in confidence. Candidates wishing to work part time hours are encouraged to apply and flexible working conversations are invited and supported.

    About us

    Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT) is an integrated careorganisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.

    Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opens in 2024 and will provide care to our local population from first class, purpose-built a result, the base of this role may change to MMUH from 2024 (or beyond). If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continuing your application with this development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.

    We have three newly emerging strategic objectives:

  • Our People - to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff
