As an integral member of the multidisciplinary team (MDT), you will manage a specialist caseload of individuals with complex neurological needs, assessing and supporting their Speech, Communication and Language Needs (SCLN) and Eating, Drinking and Swallowing (EDS) needs. Acting as the lead for Speech and Language Therapy within the service, you will deliver evidence-based assessment and intervention in line with the Cygnet SLT Pathway for Neurological Complex Care, supporting rehabilitation, risk management, safety, wellbeing and quality of life. You will work with patients across our three care pathways at Woodrowe House:

• Slow Stream Rehabilitation: Goal-focused, therapeutically-led placements for people who have stepped down from acute rehabilitation settings.
• Long-term & Maintenance: Packages designed for individuals with progressive or highly dependent needs to prevent deterioration and improve quality of life.
• Short-term Placements: Providing respite care allowing the caregiver to take a much-needed break from their duties, whilst knowing that their loved one is safe and well-supported.
You will be part of a company-wide SLT service and as such will have the opportunity to participate in large-scale projects. You will receive high-quality supervision and be supported with CPD.
