Provide a Speech and Language Therapy service to adults who have acquired communication disorders, and/or speech and/or language disorders, and/or eating, drinking and swallowing disorders.

About us

Nuffield Health Barts Hospital is the City of London's only independent hospital, situated next to St Bartholomew's NHS hospital. This is our flagship center for cardiac services and will also provide a full range of surgical and medical services, including orthopaedics, oncology, general surgery, gynaecology, and urology services. Our hospital consists of 55 beds, including 7 specialist intensive care beds, four advanced digital operating theatres, an endoscopy and minor ops theatre, 28 consultation rooms, a cardiac catheterisation lab, an oncology day unit, and a full diagnostic imaging suite including MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, and general X-ray.

Job responsibilities

Working on the bank means you are not contracted to a set number of hours per week but instead work on an ad-hoc basis to suit the needs of the business and your availability. Nuffield Health is the UK's largest healthcare charity. We have an exciting opportunity for motivated, committed, and experienced speech and language therapists to join our bank in our new London hospital. The ideal candidate will have experience in one or more of these clinical areas:

• Oncology inpatient or outpatient settings
• Critical care

You will ideally have at least 2 years prior experience working in a similar role & hospital setting, and be HCPC registered. You will be required to work independently to a specialist level of expertise and be accountable for your own professional actions. Living or working locally would be an advantage as requests to review patients may be given with short notice.

Benefits

We want you to love coming to work, feeling healthy, happy, and valued. That's why we've developed a benefits package with you in mind. This includes holiday in line with the working time directive, access to our pension scheme, and discounted gym membership at £15.00 a month.

Application Process

If you like what you see, why not start your application now? We consider applications as we receive them and reserve the right to close adverts early (for example, where we have received an unprecedented high volume of applications). So, it's a good idea to apply right away to ensure you're considered for this role.
