Posted 24 day(s) ago
Reference: 2339645
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.

We deliver extensive physical health services too, from urgent community response teams helping frail and older patients remain safely at home, to hospitals at home teams providing acute-level care in familiar surroundings. Our neurological services offer rehabilitation and treatment for conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Head Injury, Cerebral Palsy and Stroke. Across Hampshire, our community hospitals provide inpatient rehabilitation as a step down from acute care, and our dedicated teams also staff Treetops Sexual Assault Referral Centre in Portsmouth, offering expert, compassionate support.

Join an exciting new service launching on 1 September 2026 and help people regain confidence and independence at home.
We are looking for caring, motivated and enthusiastic individuals to join our new countywide Home First service as Home First Assistants. Working directly with people in their own homes following hospital discharge, you will play a key role in supporting recovery, promoting independence and helping people achieve what matters most to them.
As part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, you will provide personalised care and reablement, undertake assessments, review progress and support individuals to regain everyday skills and confidence. You will work closely with therapists, nurses, social care colleagues, families and carers to ensure people receive the right support at the right time.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to people's lives while being part of an innovative service designed to help more people remain safely and independently at home.
There is a wide range of shift patterns available between the hours of 7am-10pm on a four-day-on, four-day-off shift pattern. These roles are available over multiple sites in the West Gloucestershire team, which includes the Forest of Dean, Tewkesbury and Gloucester.
Main duties of the job
As a Home First Assistant, you will support adults in their own homes following hospital discharge, helping them to regain independence, confidence and daily living skills.

You will undertake holistic assessments and risk assessments, support people with daily living activities, and provide practical, personal and, where required, intimate care. You will assist individuals to achieve agreed outcomes, monitor progress and identify changes in need, escalating concerns appropriately to senior team members.
The role includes supporting people to use equipment safely, undertaking basic clinical observations, promoting wellbeing and independence, encouraging engagement with community resources and digital technology, and helping people maintain or rebuild links within their local community.
You will maintain accurate clinical records, contribute to reviews and multidisciplinary discussions, and work collaboratively with therapists, nurses, social care colleagues, families and carers to ensure safe and effective care delivery.
The successful candidate will be comfortable working independently within the community, able to manage changing priorities and committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care that enables people to remain safely in their own homes wherever possible.

Band 4 Therapy Technician - Amputee Rehabilitation team
Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust View all jobs
Posted 24 day(s) ago
Reference: 2339545
Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, motivated and compassionate individual to join the Therapy Department at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust (RNOH) as a Therapy Assistant within the Amputation Rehabilitation Team.
Working alongside Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists, you will support people with limb loss and limb difference throughout rehabilitation. This part-time role (28.125 hours per week) involves working with individuals who have undergone amputation following cancer, vascular disease, diabetes, failed orthopaedic procedures or congenital limb deficiency.
You will work with patients across the rehabilitation pathway, from the post-operative stage on inpatient wards through to prosthetic rehabilitation within our regional Prosthetic Rehabilitation Unit. While most of the caseload is adult-focused, there will also be opportunities to support children. The service supports individuals with lower limb, upper limb and multiple limb loss.
This is a rewarding and varied role, providing the opportunity to make a meaningful difference during a significant period of adjustment in patients' lives. You will need resilience, empathy and excellent interpersonal skills to support patients in achieving their rehabilitation goals and adapting to life with limb loss.
The role also includes equipment management, administrative duties and referrals to partner services and agencies to ensure the smooth running of the team.
Main duties of the job
As a Therapy Technician within the Amputation Rehabilitation Team, you will provide skilled rehabilitation support to people with limb loss and limb difference, while contributing to the day-to-day running of the service.
Working under the guidance of Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists, you will deliver rehabilitation programmes to adults and children across a range of settings, including inpatient wards, the Prosthetic Rehabilitation Unit, therapy areas and the Aspire Leisure Centre, including hydrotherapy facilities.
You will work with patients individually and support the development and delivery of group rehabilitation sessions. Following referral from a registered therapist, you will manage a delegated caseload, delivering treatment programmes in line with agreed protocols and rehabilitation pathways. You will monitor progress, adapt activities within your scope of practice and provide feedback to the supervising therapist, escalating concerns where appropriate.
You will require excellent communication and interpersonal skills to build effective relationships with patients, families and the multidisciplinary team, including nursing, medical, therapy, prosthetic and administrative colleagues, to ensure high-quality patient-centred care.
The role also includes supporting the management, maintenance and ordering of specialist equipment and materials, together with administrative duties that contribute to the efficient running of the team.
About us
The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) is a national centre of excellence with an international reputation for the diagnosis and treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions. Our specialist services include spinal cord injury, bone and soft tissue tumours, complex joint reconstruction and specialist rehabilitation. In partnership with University College London, we deliver a unique combination of clinical care, education, research and innovation.
You will join a friendly, supportive and experienced team of Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists delivering outstanding rehabilitation for people with limb loss and limb difference. We are committed to providing high-quality, patient-centred care and creating an environment where staff can develop and thrive.
This role offers an excellent opportunity to build your clinical knowledge and skills while working with a diverse patient group. You will be supported to develop responsibility for delegated patients within established rehabilitation pathways, with regular supervision, mentorship and a personalised development plan.
We are committed to staff development and offer a range of learning opportunities, including clinical training, leadership programmes and management development. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to service improvement projects.
At RNOH, we offer a range of health and wellbeing initiatives to support a healthy work-life balance and professional growth.
