Are you caring, compassionate, motivated and interested in developing your career within the health service? Join us at Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust, train to become a qualified Speech & Language Therapist (SLT).
We are recruiting for SLT Apprentice roles within the Learning Disability Service.
The SLT apprenticeship is a new and innovative route to ‘Learn while you Earn’ and combines 4 years of clinical employment, work based learning, and academic learning. Once your apprenticeship is completed, you will become a Band 5 SLT within the Trust, continuing your career with us. You will be an innovative thinker and strong negotiator, with a budding passion to improve the lives of children in the community through speech and language therapy.
As an apprentice you'll have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge, skills and experience during placements across the trust and our partner providers. You will be provided with dedicated time to study for a Bachelor’s degree in Speech & Language Therapy.
The successful candidate for this position will also need to complete an application and interview with the apprenticeship provider. Once you have been successful at both elements, you will be offered the apprenticeship position.
Our Learning Disability Team provide support and advice to adults aged 18+ with a Learning Disability. This includes working with their family/carers and other professionals where appropriate.
We have an amazing multi-disciplinary Team, consisting of Speech and Language Therapists, Community Nurses, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Vision and Hearing Practitioners and Clinical Support Team.
We use both face to face visits, as well as virtual assessments where clinically appropriate. We work in a number of settings, including client's own homes, residential/supported living, day centres or in the community. We also work with multiple agencies and service providers across Kent, embedding joint working practices to achieve the best outcomes for our clients.
Please carefully review the qualification requirements in the person specification as these are also the entry requirements for the apprenticeship. You will need to provide certificates as evidence of your qualifications as part of the recruitment process.
The University of Sheffield also require: A satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Disclosure check (or EU equivalent) A satisfactory occupational health screening report
Whilst you will be based in one specific team, your placements will give you a variety of learning environments working across both internal and external clinical placements to gain an appreciation of the different areas of the local healthcare service.
Rated ‘outstanding’ by the CQC, we’ve got a passion for delivering high standards of patient care and excellent services to improve the health of our communities. To do this we need outstanding people who share our values: compassionate, aspirational, responsive, and excellent.
We know a commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion leads to better patient care and a happier workforce. We pride ourselves in being diverse and welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds, perspectives and experiences.
As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want you to be able to work in a way that is best for us, for our patients and for you. Talk to us about a flexible working arrangement that won’t involve sacrificing time for personal interests or family commitments. We’ll support you to work flexibly in a way that will suit us both.
