Speech and Language Therapist - Children and Young ; CYP

Are you looking to be part of a friendly, dynamic Speech and Language Therapy team for children and young people? Would you like to belong to a team committed to developing innovative ways of working and encouraging personal and professional development? If so, we have a post for you.

Full time. Based at Oak Tree Family Centre, Stranraer.

This post is for a Band 6 Speech and Language Therapist, although we also welcome applications from existing experienced Band 5 clinicians who are looking for a new challenge. If you have completed your NQP year, we are happy to interview you to discuss a development post to enable you to transition into this role.

You will provide a comprehensive service as part of our clinical pathways across the region, working collaboratively with families and partner services and agencies to achieve the best outcomes for our CYPs. This post supports our AAC & Total Communication and School Age Pathways. Prevention and early intervention is a high priority with a focus on skill sharing and tailoring support according to the needs of individuals and their families.

The service is fully aligned to Ready‑to‑Act (2016) with offers at universal, targeted and individualised care (specialist) and each pathway team committed to delivering support at each level.

Ongoing support and training is available through your individualised job plan. Operational, professional and clinical supervision are key aspects of the service and you would have an Annual Development Review and Preceptorship. This post is based in the Oak Tree Family Centre, Stranraer alongside AHP, Health Visiting, School Nursing and CAMHS colleagues. However, you will be asked to work in a variety of locations across the community and therefore must be able to drive.

Dumfries and Galloway is situated in the Beautiful South West of Scotland with spectacular countryside, wide ranging leisure facilities, excellent schools and affordable housing. There are easy travel links to all the major cities in Scotland, North England and Northern Ireland.

For more information or to discuss this post please contact Eilidh Ross, Team Lead s2t or on MS Teams idh.ross2t.

If this is not the right post for you but you are interested in working as part of our team as a registered therapist, we would be happy to hear from you.
