Come and join one of the UK’s largest providers of complex care. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.
We are excited to present a fantastic opportunity for a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist (experience equivalent to Band 7) to join our supportive therapy team at the well sought-after Blackheath Brain Injury Rehabilitation Unit in London.
Located in trendy South East London, 10 minutes-walk away from the pretty cafes and boutiques of Greenwich, the unit has a 19-bed Level 1 Highly Specialist Cognitive-Behavioural ward and a Level 2 Neurorehabilitation ward with 18 beds. Both wards provide specialist treatment to patients with physical and cognitive impairments resulting from an acquired/traumatic brain injury.
You will be working as part of an enthusiastic, supportive, and experienced multidisciplinary team (neurology, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, nursing, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, social workers) where you will exercise complex clinical reasoning in regard to assessment, rehabilitation, and discharge planning.
As part of an experienced and skilled Speech and Language Therapy team who will provide support and guidance, you will hold your own caseload of patients across both wards on the site.
The Blackheath Brain Injury Unit is a renowned centre for complex neurorehabilitation and is part of the Active Care Group Neuro Network (consisting of 25+ sites nationally) which has a focus on the use of clinical expertise, innovation, and technology to meet patients’ expectations of their rehabilitation goals.
There is a strong ethos of patient-centred high-quality care which drives clinical and administrative decision-making. There have been exciting new renovations to the wards and value is placed on staff wellbeing. As part of our commitment to the continuing professional development of our team, we offer support and funding towards postgraduate training.
If you are passionate about neurological rehabilitation, delivering high-quality patient care and enjoy working as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, we want to hear from you!
