A Vacancy at York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Do you want to lead meaningful change?
We’re a passionate, friendly, award-winning team of Paediatric Speech and Language Therapists who’ve already made great strides supporting kids with speech, language, and communication needs. Now, we’re looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Clinical Lead to help us take things to the next level.
You’ll be the go-to person driving forward our universal, targeted, and specialist offers, building on the solid foundation already laid. This means great communication and working closely with parents, carers, schools, and our wider community to raise awareness and create communication-friendly spaces where kids can truly thrive.
This role covers the City of York and North Yorkshire local authorities, so you’ll need a good understanding of the respective infrastructure to best implement effective change and improvement.
In addition to the main duties outlined below and in the Job Description, your key priorities over the next year will be to:
1. Understand the team, local populations, and areas for development
2. Continue building strong cross-sector relationships
3. Lead and maintain momentum in ongoing Speech & Language Therapy service development work
The Band 7 Clinical Lead Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist (Universal and Targeted) provides visible clinical leadership across universal, targeted and specialist provision. The post holder is responsible for developing, embedding and evaluating evidence-based speech, language and communication (SLC) practice across the service, ensuring high-quality, outcome-focused care for children and young people.
The role combines highly specialist clinical practice with leadership in workforce development, service innovation, education and quality improvement. The post holder will work collaboratively with operational managers, professional leads and wider system partners to raise the profile of speech and language therapy, strengthen early identification and intervention, and ensure equitable, effective pathways into specialist care.
A core focus of the role is to lead the universal and targeted offer, supporting parents, carers, educational settings and professionals to create communication-friendly environments, promote self-care and wellbeing, and enable timely, appropriate referrals in line with the service’s impact-focused ethos.
