The University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist (SALT) to join its neurosciences and stroke teams at the Royal Sussex County Hospital. This role is ideal for experienced therapists interested in advancing their skills in assessing and managing swallowing and communication difficulties, particularly in an acute setting. Candidates must have basic dysphagia competencies and will engage in a variety of professional development opportunities, including training in advanced dysphagia techniques like videofluoroscopy and flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Additionally, therapists will participate in a Saturday working rota with other team members under the lead speech and language therapist for stroke, making some experience in stroke care desirable.

Key responsibilities include the independent assessment and management of dysphagia and acquired communication disorders, conducting mental capacity assessments, and actively participating in service development and governance. The position also involves teaching, training, and mentoring junior therapists, students, and other staff members, thus providing a comprehensive role within a dynamic teaching hospital environment.
