Job Overview
We are currently seeking an experienced and motivated Band 6 Speech and Language Therapist to join the acute team at West Middlesex University Hospital. This role is ideal for a dysphagia-competent SLT who is confident working autonomously within a fast-paced acute hospital environment.

• Deliver dysphagia rehabilitation and contribute to communication assessment and intervention as required.
• Manage and prioritise an acute caseload effectively, responding to urgent referrals.
• Work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team to support patient care and discharge planning.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date clinical documentation in line with Trust and professional standards.
Qualifications and Experience
To be considered for this role, you must have:
• A recognised degree in Speech and Language Therapy (or equivalent).
• HCPC registration and eligibility for membership of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
• Proven experience working within an adult acute or hospital-based SLT service.
• Dysphagia competency and the ability to work independently within an acute caseload.
• Strong communication, clinical reasoning, and organisational skills.
Desirable criteria:
• Videofluoroscopy competency.
• Tracheostomy competency.
