Come and join our Children’s SaLT team in Birmingham: a vibrant multicultural city!
Are you an experienced Band 5 SLT looking for a new challenge?
We’re excited to invite applications for a Band 5 Speech and Language Therapist to join our Children's Eating Drinking and Swallowing (EDS) team in Birmingham, 3 days a week.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced SLT who has completed their post-competency framework or is close to completion, and who has a strong interest in the area of EDS difficulties, to develop their skills and post registration EDS competence, as part of a dynamic, supportive, and forward-thinking team.
We aim to make our interviews as accessible as possible. Please contact us if you'd like to discuss the reasonable adjustments you may require during your interview.
Successful candidates will have opportunity to:
• work with appropriate supervision as part of a multidisciplinary team, delivering high-quality assessment and intervention for children with EDS difficulties.
• Work within a locality to develop networks, build skills in the wider workforce, and increase the impact of our interventions
We offer:
• strong support and supervision, including funded and supported access to the EDS post-registration qualification
• A welcoming, collaborative team culture with a real focus on learning and professional growth
This is an exciting time to join the EDS team: Our service has recently been remodelled to:
· Reduce waiting times
· Develop clear, evidence-based intervention pathways
· Improve staff health, wellbeing, and work–life balance
If you’re looking to build your expertise in EDS while being genuinely supported to grow, we’d love to hear from you.
