Band 6 Specialist Speech and Language Therapist

An exciting opportunity has arisen at University Hospitals Birmingham for a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist to join our supportive and innovative SLT team at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital to provide input to patients with head and neck cancer, voice and upper airway disorders within our ENT and severe asthma multidisciplinary services.

You will work with a highly experienced MDT supporting senior clinicians in the assessment and management of ENT, head and neck patients throughout their treatment. You will also work with the regional severe asthma service providing tertiary support to patients with inducible laryngeal obstruction., This post would ideally suit an established band 6 wishing to expand and apply existing specialist skills in ENT. With support from highly specialist SLTs in ENT and Respiratory, you will train in surgical voice restoration, videofluoscopy and endoscopy for the purposes of FEES and upper airway assessments.

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust strives to have an inclusive culture where everyone feels like they belong, can thrive, knows that they add value and feels valued. We do this by developing compassionate and culturally competent leaders, being values driven in all that we do and by creating a welcoming and inclusive workplace that thrives on the diversity of our people.

For those staff with a disability, including physical disability, long term health condition, mental health or neurodiverse condition, this also means being committed to making reasonable adjustments needed for you to carry out your role.
