Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 26 day(s) ago
Reference: 2383795
Job summary
This is an exciting opportunity for a highly specialist Speech and Language Therapist to pioneer and develop Speech and Language Therapy provision across Hampshire's Forensic Learning Disability and Mental Health Services.
Working across inpatient mental health and learning disability wards, as well as the Forensic Community Learning Disability Team, you will provide specialist assessment, formulation and intervention for individuals with complex communication and dysphagia needs. Service users may have learning disabilities, autism and/or mental health conditions, and many will have contact with, or be at risk of contact with, the Criminal Justice System.
You will play a key role in identifying and addressing communication difficulties that can impact engagement, behaviour, risk and recovery. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will support the development of communication-friendly environments, contribute to care planning and risk management, and promote accessible, person-centred care.
This unique role offers the opportunity to influence service development, raise the profile of Speech and Language Therapy within forensic services, and make a lasting difference to the lives of people with highly complex needs across both inpatient and community settings.
Main duties of the job
Responsible for delivering highly specialist assessment, diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with complex communication, feeding and swallowing difficulties. Uses advanced clinical skills and evidence-based practice to develop, implement and evaluate personalised therapy programmes, adapting interventions to meet individual, cultural and linguistic needs.
Provides expert written and verbal advice to patients, carers, families and multidisciplinary teams, including communicating complex and potentially distressing information with sensitivity. Demonstrates advanced skills in managing patients with severe communication difficulties, disabilities and mental health needs, while promoting engagement, shared decision-making and positive therapeutic relationships.
Manages and prioritises a complex caseload independently, ensuring timely, effective interventions and accurate clinical documentation in line with professional and Trust standards. Produces specialist reports, develops care pathways and protocols, provides second opinions, and contributes to service evaluation, audit and quality improvement initiatives.
Acts as a key member of the multidisciplinary team, influencing patient care, service development and policy implementation through specialist knowledge and clinical expertise. Provides leadership within areas of specialism, supporting service objectives and contributing to strategic developments in response to service pressures and changing needs.
