We have created an exciting new clinical support post in speech and language therapy at the RSCH in Brighton. This post has been specifically designed to support the SaLT specialist teams in ENT and paediatric dysphagia. Working across both specialties offers a unique opportunity to develop a breadth of knowledge, skills, and competencies. To enable this, you will be supported by both teams of highly experienced speech and language therapists who will work with you, supervise your input to patients, and monitor your development in the role

Specific clinical roles will include face-to-face contact with patients and/or telephone reviews, running groups and assisting in specific clinics such as videofluoroscopy. You will also be responsible for the administration of a variety of outpatient clinics within these specialties, and it is therefore essential that you have well-developed IT skills to support the range of systems that will be used for the administration element of the role and are able to work in a time-efficient and dynamic way.

We have an experienced SaLT team of around 50 people working across the Trust’s sites. We are committed to offering robust CPD, training, and peer support.

If you have excellent communication and organisational skills, enjoy teamwork whilst also demonstrating a developing ability to work independently, then we would love to hear from you.
