Are you ready for change and to develop as a Critical Care SLT?
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join BHRUT SLT Team as a Band 7 to continue developing and lead our Critical Care services across both our sites (Queen’s Hospital/King George Hospital).
This role covers 4 ITU units alongside the MDT working with lots of different specialities. We also run an ITU step down service on our acute wards to improve the patient experience and ensure continuity of care. We are also incredibly proud to have recently established a Phagenyx (pharyngeal electrical stimulation) service for suitable patients presenting with profound neurogenic dysphagia.
You should have extensive experience managing acquired swallowing and communication difficulties within acute and ITU settings. VFSS competencies and basic trache competencies are essential. FEES competencies are desirable however we can provide in house training on FEES and vented traches if needed.
You will lead on representing SLT at weekly MDT meetings, Quality and Safety meetings, tracheostomy ward rounds and much more. You will also be involved in our 6 VFSS slots and FEES clinics 3 days per week.
Our SLT Team is ever growing and very supportive. We provide ample CPD, training opportunities and peer support. Service development, audit and quality improvement is actively encouraged throughout the team.
