Specialist Speech and Language Therapist

We have a new opportunity for a highly specialist role in the clinical specialism of Early Years and Community in our growing Children’s Community Speech and Language Therapy team. We are a department that promotes Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in our workforce and practice, value difference and welcome everyone. We are a team of innovative, enthusiastic clinicians, delivering a range of Speech and Language Therapy services in partnership with parents, Health, Education, Social Services, Local Authority, Youth Justice Services and the voluntary sector working across Lambeth & Southwark.

The Speech and Language Therapy department provides focused and clinically driven services across the community (Lambeth & Southwark). Our aim is to ensure clear delivery and development of services for the specific populations we serve, enabling smoother transitions, enhanced skill development across the team and greater job satisfaction.

• manage a caseload of children in the Early Years & Community service
• focus on input to community clinics, children's centres, and nurseries

As a senior therapist, you will be expected to take on service development work supported by departmental Clinical Leads.

We provide separate line management and clinical supervision to ensure strong clinical performance and development opportunities. You would offer line management and clinical supervision to junior colleagues (with support from Leadership) and offer second opinions to colleagues as needed.

The boroughs of Lambeth & Southwark in South East London stretch from Big Ben and London Bridge in the North, to Streatham and Dulwich in the South, with easy access to The South Bank and Central London.
