Specialist Speech and Language Therapist

Highly specialist Speech and Language Therapist

We have a great opportunity for a Highly Specialist SLT in the NUH Neuro Rehabilitation Outpatient Team. Neuro Out-Patients offer specialist multi‑disciplinary assessment and interventions for adults with a range of neurological conditions. We require an SLT with highly developed clinical skills and a passion for working with this client group. You will be joining a close knit well‑established MDT. The service is predominantly based at City Hospital but where clinically indicated patients are seen in their own homes.

The post is made up of 0.6 WTE sessions within the Neuro Rehab Outpatient Team, with 0.4 WTE sessions in the inpatient Stroke team currently, with a possibility of these sessions covering Neurosurgery (not yet confirmed). You will be part of a large dynamic SLT service where you will have peer supervision and the opportunity to collaborate with other SLTs at NUH who also deliver inpatient and outpatient SLT.

There are opportunities for training and development of your clinical and leadership skills. This is a full‑time post but part‑time requests will be considered. There may be an additional requirement to work on weekends and bank holidays as part of a rota.

• Provide a specialist clinical service and high‑quality Speech and Language Therapy services to a range of outpatients with acquired neurological conditions.
• Work closely with clinical MDT for coordinated and integrated clinical care.
• Collaborate with the MDT for service development, service evaluation and governance.
• Engage in mutual mentoring with other outpatient SLTs within the service.
• Provide a specialist clinical service to acute inpatients on the Stroke wards, providing in‑depth assessment and intensive therapy.
• Apply advanced skills in communication and dysphagia, ideally in instrumental assessments.

With over 19,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city and play a leading role in research, education and innovation. NUH has just opened the National Rehabilitation Centre.

We particularly welcome applications from people who identify as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, or Disabled, as we are striving to be better represented at NUH.

If you’re unsure whether you meet all the requirements, please contact us to discuss. We are keen to recruit the right person and are happy to explore how your skills and experience might fit within our team.
