🧠 Speech and Language Therapist – Neurological Rehabilitation

Are you a passionate Speech and Language Therapist looking to make a meaningful difference in neurological rehabilitation?

We are seeking a dedicated Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) to join the multidisciplinary team in Leicester, supporting individuals with acquired brain injuries and complex rehabilitation needs.

This is an exciting opportunity to deliver specialist, evidence-based interventions in a service that places recovery, independence and person-centred care at its heart.

About The House – Leicester

Providing a safe and therapeutic environment supporting individuals on their brain injury rehabilitation journey.

We specialise in supporting people with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), which may result from infection, disease, lack of oxygen, or traumatic injury. Our goal is to ensure individuals remain in inpatient rehabilitation only as long as clinically necessary, working closely with community teams to enable safe and successful discharge.

Our approach puts individuals at the centre of their rehabilitation, empowering them to maximise independence, communication and quality of life.

• Hope and Recovery
• Compassion and Respect
• Continuity and Caring
• Partnership and Empowerment

As Speech and Language Therapist, you will:

• Assess, diagnose and manage communication and swallowing disorders linked to neurological and complex conditions
• Manage a defined caseload, prioritising referrals appropriately
• Develop and implement individualised, goal-oriented intervention plans
• Deliver evidence-based therapy for speech, language, cognitive-communication and dysphagia
• Undertake dysphagia assessments and contribute to risk management planning
• Provide specialist recommendations on eating, drinking and swallowing safety
• Act as an advocate for individuals with communication needs during MDT meetings and ward rounds
• Contribute to discharge planning and continuity of care
• Maintain high-quality, contemporaneous documentation
• Participate in clinical governance, audits and service development

You will:

• Identify, assess and manage dysphagia risks in line with professional guidance
• Contribute to capacity, best interest and risk-related discussions
• Apply evidence-based approaches including supported communication and risk feeding where appropriate
• Escalate safeguarding or clinical concerns promptly
• Ensure compliance with professional, legal and organisational standards

• Demonstrate knowledge of communication disorders and dysphagia management
• Be confident working within a multidisciplinary team
• Have strong clinical reasoning and documentation skills
