Job Summary

We have an exciting opportunity for an innovative and passionate Speech & Language Therapist (SLT) to join the Acute/Rehab Stroke Team at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust (LTHTR). We are a Comprehensive Stroke Centre, which means this post offers an interesting variety of work across the stroke pathway.

This role is a rotational post between HASU, acute stroke, and stroke rehabilitation. Clinically, this entails complex acquired disorders of communication, cognition, and dysphagia, and the opportunity to work with an established and passionate MDT. Collaboratively, we are part of an active regional stroke delivery network, which drives quality improvement initiatives and provides training opportunities to ensure optimal patient care.

LTHTR has established VFS and FEES clinics, and experience in these areas would be advantageous. However, for the right candidate, training in VFS and referrer competencies/exposure to FEES could be provided in-house.

You will be expected to work within a 6-day therapy service with plans for a 7-day service in the future. This role also requires cross-site working. Excellent interpersonal skills are essential to build working relationships with multiple MDTs across sites.

CPD is actively supported, and you will have the opportunity to continue to develop your clinical portfolio.

Main duties of the job

The role involves providing specialist speech and language therapy services to adults with acquired communication, cognition, and dysphagia disorders. You will work across both acute and rehabilitation pathways, collaborating proactively with the multidisciplinary team. You’ll support the clinical lead in the daily management of the stroke service, applying clinical knowledge, maintaining operational accountability, and assisting staff as needed.

This role also involved the training, development, and supervision of students, Therapy Assistant Practitioners, and NQPs.
