Summary
A Vacancy at Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust.
We are looking for a highly motivated specialist Speech & Language Therapist to join our one of a kind Older Peoples Mental Health Unit in Chesterfield.
As a newly funded role, you will have the unique opportunity to establish and embed the SLT offer to the MDT and our patients, ensuring the delivery of care to older patients with dementia and associated mental health issues is evidence based, effective and promotes better outcomes in the community.
This a great opportunity to utilise and develop highly specialist knowledge and skills in SLT to promote the delivery of high-quality care to patients within the OPMH service. You will be confident in providing leadership and vision to engage and inspire others.
What do our SLT’s say about working in this service?
• “I think the team is fantastic! I always feel supported by my colleagues, whether that’s a quick email or a proper catch up at our team meetings”
• “I love working in the adult community team. We are given autonomy and the flexibility over how we work allows me to have a great work life balance”
• “I really appreciate having allocated time to talk with my team leaders, they always give me the space and time to share my thoughts.”
• “Our team is everything you could hope for; supportive, caring fun. It’s a real joy to wake up in the morning and take pride in what we do and who we work with”
You will work as part of a wider multi-disciplinary team to support people with mental health disorder and distress alongside behaviour that challenges whilst also working with and supporting their families and friends, in doing this you will become an integral part of the clinical leadership team.
You will be joining colleagues from Physio, OT, Psychology and Nursing.
It is proposed that after an approximate 6 month period this role would be split across the Walton unit (0.4wte) and the adult community SLT service (0.2wte), and that there would be allocated B6 SLT input of 0.2wte (from the mainstream SLT service) into the Walton unit maintaining the 0.6wte overall input to the unit.
This will enable skill development across the staffing cohort on the Walton unit, enable greater consistency of cover for the Walton unit with two SLT colleagues, and improve the community SLT delivery of care across all SLT roles in the community service to people with dementia and complex needs.
