The NHS Grampian Learning Disability Service is split into three Health and Social Care Partnerships (HSCP) and an inpatient service.  The Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) service has one overall manager who oversees the whole NHS Grampian wide service within each of the three HSCPs, and the inpatient service.  

 Within each HSCP there is a small specialist speech and language therapy team based within a multidisciplinary community learning disability team which has the full range of professionals and care managers.  

 We are offering bank opportunities at band 6, across all clinical areas in learning disability services in NHSG and they will give candidates an opportunity to further develop their specialist learning disability skills within a supportive team structure and with regular supervision and assistant support.  The caseload is mixed and includes a number of complex, dysphagic and forensic clients as well as the full range of cases found within a learning disability caseload.  The suitable candidates will have a range of learning disability experience and there is the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients over a large geographical area.  

We would welcome applications from those returning to practise and those seeking part time and flexible working arrangements.
