  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 premises.As 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 understanding.The 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: 1. Our People - to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff 2. Our Patients - to be good or outstanding in everything we do 3. Our Population - to work seamlessly with our partners to improve life

We work with children aged from 0 to 16 or older if in full time education. We provide a service in schools, clinics, nurseries and children's own homes. We are an award winning team and have been recognised as Outstanding by CQC. We are the authors of WellComm Early Years and more recently WellComm Primary - both of which are published language screens that are used nationally. We pride ourselves on being not only innovative and resourceful but also friendly, supportive and fun. We are looking to recruit a Speech and Language Therapist to join our Integrated Children's Community Therapy Service in Sandwell (Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech & Language Therapy). This post is to cover maternity leave but there is the possibility that this post could be extended
