We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Speech & Language Therapist to join our forward-thinking service as an advanced Speech and Language Therapist.
The post is part of the small Adult Learning Disability team, which is made up of mixed grade therapists. You will work in conjunction with others to deliver and develop a quality service within a tiered model of intervention across Fife including to the local assessment and treatment centre and bespoke inpatient unit. As a senior and highly experienced member of the wider service you will contribute to strategic planning, policy interpretation and implementation and support consistent and reflective clinical decision making and application of quality improvement methodology.
You will bring comprehensive knowledge and experience of responding to requests for assistance and managing a mixed caseload of communication and swallowing difficulties for adults with learning disability.
