Speech and Language Therapy
Bank Health Care Support Worker
Up to 8 weeks full time available between July and September 2023
We have an exciting opportunity for Speech and Language Therapy Students to join us on our Bank and pick up shifts over the university summer holidays. As a bank member of staff, shifts will be agreed in advance but could allow you to work around any existing summer holiday plans you have made. Full time shifts would be preferred worked over 4 or 5 days but part time shifts could be discussed.
Our Children and Young People’s Speech and Language Therapy Service provides a comprehensive service as part of our clinical pathways across the region, working collaboratively with families and partner agencies to achieve the best outcomes for our CYPs. Prevention and early intervention is a high priority with a focus on skill sharing and tailoring support according to the needs of individuals and their families. The service is fully aligned to Ready to Act (2016) with offers at universal, targeted and individualised care (specialist) with each pathway team committed to delivering support at each level.
Summer holiday roles will be predominantly clinic and community based. Our posts are based in The Willows, Children, Young People and Family Centre but you could work in a variety of locations across the community and therefore you must be able to travel independently. Dumfries and Galloway is situated in the beautiful South West of Scotland with spectacular countryside, wide ranging leisure facilities, excellent schools and affordable housing. There are easy travel links to all the major cities in Scotland, North England and Northern Ireland.
