Job Summary

Highly Specialised Speech and language therapist Adult Acute Inpatients Clinical lead

Are you an experienced Adult Speech and Language Therapist ready to take the next step in your clinical leadership journey?

This is an exciting opportunity to lead and shape SLT provision for adults within acute inpatient services at one of the largest and most dynamic NHS Trusts in the UK. You will play a pivotal role in delivering high-quality, evidence-based care to patients with complex communication and swallowing needs in fast-paced hospital environments.

Why this role?

This is more than a Band 7 post it’s an opportunity to:

Lead and develop SLT services across acute inpatient pathways
Influence multidisciplinary practice and service development
Provide operational leadership, mentorship and clinical supervision within a skilled and motivated SLT team
Drive innovation and quality improvement in a service that values new ideas

You’ll be joining a supportive, forward-thinking team who are passionate about high standards of care, professional development and collaborative working. We actively encourage service development projects, audit, research engagement and CPD and we will support you to pursue specialist interests aligned with service need.

About You

We’re looking for a confident and enthusiastic SLT with:

Significant experience working with adults in acute hospital settings
Advanced skills in dysphagia and complex communication assessment and management
A passion for leadership, service improvement and developing others
The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic clinical environment

If you’re ready to step into a role where your expertise will shape services, influence practice and directly impact patient outcomes, we would love to hear from you.

Why you should join our Team

The post holder will join a highly supportive and innovative Speech and Language Therapy Service comprising 34wte SLTs serving ENT/Maxillofacial/Head and Neck, Neurosciences, Acute Medicine including complex airways and Outpatients. The Department offers comprehensive supervision in conjunction with a well-established Continuing Professional Development program and access to regular staff meetings.

You will be working with one of the most forward-thinking, pioneering and well-respected Trusts in the UK. With St James’s University Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary being two of the largest teaching hospitals in Europe, our reputation for excellence has seen us train thousands of medical specialists who now practice all over the world.

When you’re working with Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, you’ll enjoy a strong performance management culture where everyone is clear about their responsibilities, works to the values of the organisation and is empowered to embrace continuous personal and professional improvement. We’ve created a culture where people take a real pride in their work, respect each other and all work together to deliver the most exceptional standards of patient care. We have a happy, productive work environment where everyone in every role plays their own important part in our success.

What you will bring to the role

You will have significant experience in the assessment, differential diagnosis and management of communication and dysphagia in the adult inpatient setting and as part of a multidisciplinary team. You will be able to demonstrate highly developed skills in the assessment, treatment and management of complex communication and swallowing breakdown. Advanced developed skills in both high and low tech AAC would be desirable.

Established leadership skills are essential for this role, joining our dynamic team of Band 7 leaders across our adult SLT service. You will be expected to operationally and clinically lead the acute inpatient team working cross sites (Leeds General Infirmary and St. James University Hospital). You will work alongside B7 peers and support the clinical development of the team.

There is an established instrumental service within LTHT with weekly clinics for both Videofluoroscopy and FEES (fibre optic evaluation of swallowing) assessments. We have recently purchased new FEES equipment which shows our investment in providing a quality service for our patients.

Governance is a key component of this role with the post holder expected to undertake regular audit, collate clinical outcomes, and participate in quality forums within your assigned clinical support units and Speech & Language Therapy with a view to continually improving quality, safety and productivity. It is desirable to have previous experience in completion of quality improvement projects.

Patient safety is a key focus area within the NHS, LTHT and our department. We are keen to continue to support and work collaboratively with staff in LTHT to minimise patient swallow related safety incidents, and drive improvements in safety and quality.

Teaching will be a significant part of your role, both SLT and MDT teaching. You will have experience in providing teaching and supporting competency development with Speech & Language Therapy colleagues. You will have evidence of experience in mentoring and clinical supervision.

Planned Interview date: Thursday 23rd July
