Speech and Language Therapist

You will work within our multi professional Community Learning Disability Team, supporting people to meet their communication and/or dysphagia goals. The North and West Hampshire Community Learning Disability Team has bases in Winchester, Basingstoke and Tatchbury, and base location can be flexible for the right candidate. Full time hours and part time hours will be considered.

You will be directly supervised by a senior Speech and Language Therapist, though an ability to work autonomously will be integral to the role.

You will be well supported by the immediate multi-disciplinary team and will also benefit from linking closely with the Speech and Language Therapists across Community Learning Disability Teams in Hampshire. We have an active journal club and meet regularly for Continuing Professional Development, peer supervision and service development.

Previous post holders have praised the availability and responsiveness of seniors, the emphasis on holistic working and maintaining a small, specialist caseload.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Band 6 Therapist looking to enhance their skills and knowledge in this specialist field.
