Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit a Band 6 Specialist Speech and Language Therapist to our established Community Forensic Service (we would also consider appointment to a Band 5 development role with the expectation that the successful candidate would work towards specific Band 6 competencies).
The post will be as part of the Lancashire and South Cumbria Community Forensic Learning Disability Service (CFLDS) based in Leyland working with people who have a learning disability who have offended or are at risk of offending. The service provides additional support to those who are at risk of contact with the Criminal Justice System or Hospital admission.
The CFLDS is a multidisciplinary team consisting of Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, Social Work, Psychiatry, Nursing and Support Workers.
You will be expected to work in all areas of Lancashire and South Cumbria and liaise with the local learning disability and mental health services to develop proactive and preventative risk mitigation support.
You will have the opportunity to work with in a team of skilled Speech and Language Therapists who have developed a core and specialised role within the team.
You will receive regular clinical supervision from the lead Speech and language therapist in the CFLDS and will also have access to wider peer supervision opportunities with other speech therapy teams within Merseycare NHS Trust as well as strong links with the Clinical Excellence Networks.
Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 1.4 million people across our region and are also commissioned for services that cover the North West, North Wales and the Midlands.
We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.
At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.
Flexible working requests will be considered for all roles.
