EXCITING NEW OPPORTUNITY, NOT TO BE MISSED!

We have recently opened a new low secure adolescent unit offering up to 14 beds to young people, who require mental health care in a low secure setting. Therefore, we’re seeking a motivated, enthusiastic and hardworking Speech and Language therapist, to work within CAMHS MDT in Austen House (low secure unit) and Leigh House (Tier 4 services).

You’ll join the MDT team at the low secure unit (at Leigh House) and will work closely with the young people, their families, friends and carers and you may work with individuals or in a group in the units and the community.

We are looking for a Speech and Language Therapist with relevant post graduate experience and with an interest in working with young people. You’ll work as part of an expansive MDT offering specialist Speech and Language assessment, interventions and discharge planning.

You will need to have good communication skills and be able to demonstrate a caring and supportive approach to working. Experience in child and adolescent mental health services is not essential, however having a young outlook is.

The post requires that you are able to work flexible hours to meeting the needs of the service. This is a full-time post but part time / job share will be considered.
