Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd
The post holder will provide a speech and language therapy service to adults with communication and swallowing difficulties. Experience working independently in assessing and treating people with dysphagia is essential for this role. We have access to videofluoroscopy and FEES at our local acute hospital, and independently carry out videofluoroscopy. Experience working in the community would be a distinct advantage.
You will be working as part of a multi-disciplinary team which includes Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Neuropsychologists, Specialist Nursing and Rehabilitation Assistants to manage those with neurological and non-neurological conditions including Stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Dementia and COPD.
The team provides a service to the person in the place most suited to their current need (their place of residence, day centre, place of work, clinic). We also offer groups which are held in a clinic setting. You will need to be able to travel around the Borough of Greenwich independently.
