We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Speech and Language Therapist , to work alongside a Clinical Lead within the SLT Head and Neck Cancer service in UHL.
This is a fixed term , 12 month post to cover maternity leave.
Our acute service has recently joined UHL and has continued to establish itself as an integral part of AHP services within UHL. The service is supported by a Clinical Service Lead and a new Head of Service. The Trust also has a Chief AHP, ensuring that all AHP services and professions are represented at Board and Executive Levels.
The post holder will work alongside the current Clinical Lead , managing the Head and Neck Cancer caseload .There will be a particular emphasis on developing the skills and competencies of other team members in the instrumental assessment of swallowing and tracheostomy management
This role will provide a fantastic opportunity to work closely with colleagues within Leicester’s ENT, Maxillofacial and Oncology teams to develop innovative clinical pathways to meet the needs of patients and their carers.
We are a friendly, innovative, supportive and culturally diverse team. As well as established relationships within UHL, the team has close links with education providers, Leicestershire community service and the wider AHP community. The service provides excellent opportunities for continuing professional development. Opportunities for flexible working , part-time working and job -share will be considered
You will provide clinical and professional leadership to ensure the delivery of high quality care to patients and their carers to ensure performance standards are met.
As an experienced and highly specialist SLT you will prioritise and manage a highly specialist caseload of head and neck cancer patients. This will include management of complex laryngectomy patients including valve changes, tracheostomy care and instrumental assessment of dysphagia ( FEES and videofluoroscopy
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
