JOIN A SUPPORTIVE NHS TEAM WHERE YOUR EXPERTISE AS A SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPIST WILL DIRECTLY TRANSFORM LIVES IN ONE OF LONDON’S MOST DIVERSE COMMUNITIES.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, forward-thinking Speech and Language Therapist to join our Adult Community SLT service in Brent, a vibrant, multicultural borough in North West London.
Based at the Willesden Centre for Health & Care and Wembley Centre for Health & Care, you’ll work across outpatient and domiciliary settings, supporting adults with a wide range of complex communication and swallowing needs, including progressive neurological conditions.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

This Band 6 role sits within the Adult Community SLT team in Brent.
You’ll manage your own caseload across domiciliary and outpatient settings, supporting adults with communication and swallowing needs, many of whom speak English as an additional language.
You’ll assess and treat clients in their homes, clinics, care homes, and community sites, with access to VFS/FEES as needed.
You’ll work closely with the local MDT, contribute to rehab ward input at Willesden Centre if required, and supervise junior staff.
Just as we care about our patients’ well-being, we care about yours!

RESPONSIBILITIES:

As an autonomous practitioner, you’ll provide person-centred care and lead on assessment, therapy, and specialist advice for adults with communication and swallowing difficulties.
You’ll collaborate with referrers, families, carers, and colleagues across health, social care, and voluntary sectors to deliver effective interventions and integrated care plans.
You’ll also contribute to clinical governance, audits, QI, and service development. Training others on SLT best practice is part of the role, and you’ll support the development of the Brent SLT team by supervising students and junior colleagues.
