Highly Specialist Speech & Language Therapist Complex Needs Dysphagia
Our service is jointly commissioned by health and education, allowing us to provide a seamless pathway of care from early years through to schools, specialist provisions and further education settings. Successful candidates will be enthusiastic and motivated.
Advanced communication, clinical reasoning and organisational skills are essential. You must be a team player but be able to work autonomously and have the ability to champion the needs of children and young people through upskilling the wider workforce.
As a highly specialist SLT, there will be opportunities for you to facilitate professional supervision groups and provide managerial supervision to less experienced colleagues.
You will be joining a well- established, supportive team of therapists and assistants.
CYP Therapies at HCT pride ourselves on the support we provide to staff.
Please see below comments from a current member of the team: I love working in CYPT/HCT
- everyone in the team is super dedicated.
There is strong management support, but also space for being flexible and creative to meet childrens needs; innovation & good practice is valued and encouraged.
I enjoy & appreciate the robust supervision structures, training in supervision & coaching, and the many opportunities for personal development and learning, including for example in-house training days and tutorials.I have worked in many teams across Hertfordshire, all without exception friendly and welcoming.
There is an ethos of peer support and encouragement & sharing learning; everyone works hard but there is a sense of belonging and always time for a quick chat and plenty of laughs.
I feel valued here and I value my lovely colleagues and the fabulous children & young people we work with.
