Summary
A Vacancy at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic individual to join the Speech and Language Therapy service based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King’s Lynn.
This position will enable you to develop specialist skills in the assessment and management of acquired communication difficulties and acute dysphagia with a range of conditions within supportive and friendly teams. The job will be split between the stroke and non stroke acute services.
We welcome applications from Band 5 SLTs with at least 1yr relevant experience looking to develop into a Band 6 role as well as those ready to transition immediately to a specialist post.
We strive to deliver high quality care in line with current evidence base and are committed to providing regular supervision and CPD.
· To provide specialist Speech and Language Therapy assessment, differential diagnosis and treatment for adults with acquired communication disorders across acute wards and stroke services at QEH.
· To provide specialist dysphagia assessment and therapy for patients across acute wards and stroke services at QEH.
· To ensure a multi- professional approach is carried out in the implementation of patient care across acute wards and stroke services.
There’s never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We’re working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital due to open in 2031/32 and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we’ve ever undertaken.
Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.
At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.
We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as ‘Good’, and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.
We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.
