Thanks to significant new NHS England funding, an exciting opportunity has arisen to join our expanding neonatal workforce as a Band 7 Specialist Neonatal Speech and Language Therapist (1.94 WTE) within Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
We are seeking dynamic, enthusiastic and highly motivated Speech and Language Therapists to deliver expert care to infants and their families across our neonatal services. Working within a Family Integrated Care (FiCare) model, you will provide specialist support across our two neonatal sites at Leeds General Infirmary and St James’s University Hospital, making a meaningful difference to the lives of babies born across Leeds and the wider Yorkshire region.
As a core member of the Neonatal Multidisciplinary Team, you will work alongside our established Clinical Lead and specialist colleagues to further develop and embed Speech and Language Therapy provision across our Level 1 to 3 neonatal units. This will include our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), High Dependency, Transitional Care and providing an outreach service. This role offers an excellent opportunity to enhance your specialist neonatal skills while contributing to the ongoing development of a progressive and innovative service.
We are a dedicated and cohesive neonatal AHP team delivering highquality, evidencebased developmental care for babies and their families. Recent investment offers an exciting opportunity to expand our workforce and strengthen AHP provision within neonatal services across St James's University Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary. As we progress through a period of transformation, we are enhancing developmental pathways, improving outcomes and embedding collaborative, familycentred practice. This is an exciting time to join our fantastic team and be part of meaningful service improvement.
We are committed to supporting professional growth and offer excellent opportunities to become involved in service development, quality improvement initiatives and research activities, helping shape the future of neonatal care both locally and regionally.
If you are passionate about neonatal care, thrive within multidisciplinary teams and are looking to be part of an ambitious and forward-thinking neonatal SLT service, we would love to hear from you.
