Remit
Compass Associates are excited to be working with a national provider of specialist children’s and adult’s services, to recruit a Lead Speech & Language Therapist, to oversee their adult learning disabilities’ services.
This newly created role oversees residential and supported living services for adults who have learning disabilities, autism, complex needs, traumatic background and challenging behaviours, all of which have access to NHS Community Therapy Teams (Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Nurses and Speech & Language Therapists.) This is a unique role where you will not have a clinical caseload, but instead provide specialist advice internally, to enhance the statutory provisions that are already in place. Your role will involve creating clinical strategies, policies, procedures and delivering training, but there may be occasions where you need to visit a service user on site if particularly challenging.
Your role will be to provide SALT expertise to Registered Managers, Operations Teams and Care Staff, so they have the therapeutic knowledge and skills to best support the service users. You will work alongside your counterparts (also new roles) of a Lead Occupational Therapist, Lead Nurses (Mental Health and Learning Disabilities), Safeguarding Lead and Psychology Lead, who all report into the Associate Clinical Director for Adult Services.
Location/Travel
As there are large clusters of services in the North West and Yorkshire regions, the successful candidate would ideally be based in and around the Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire, Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham and Derby areas. However, candidates located anywhere in England/Wales will be considered as long as you’re willing to travel as required.
