Speech and Language Therapists provide patient-centred care, working collaboratively with children and young people to set therapy goals aimed at improving their quality of life and wellbeing. These goals empower patients to manage their speech, language, communication, and eating/drinking needs independently. Central to this approach is the patient’s active involvement through education, awareness, and participation in their therapy.
The Speech and Language Therapy Assistant will support the delivery of high standards of patient care in a specified area of practice, undertaking the following responsibilities:
• Provide a high standard of therapy support to clients in hospital, community, home, or educational settings.
• Collaborate with Speech and Language Therapists to implement and advance speech, language, and communication programmes.
• Help patients achieve and maintain optimal levels of speech, language, functional communication, independence, and wellbeing across various settings, aiming for self-management of their condition.
• Take primary responsibility for continuing speech, language, and communication programmes following appropriate training and clear delegation.
• Participate as a member of the multidisciplinary team, planning and managing their own work duties.
• Engage in regular clinical and managerial supervision, maintaining an accurate portfolio of learning and reflective practice relevant to the role.
