KT Healthcare is a family-run organisation providing assessment and therapeutic services across the Neurodevelopmental, Brain Injury and Complex Care sectors. Our team of clinicians work on a sub-contracting basis – they are highly specialist and deliver high-quality assessments, reports, and therapy sessions within a multidisciplinary team.

We’re looking for an experienced Speech and Language Therapist to support a 35-year-old client with an acquired brain injury.

The client continues to present with a cognitive-communication disorder and difficulties with social communication. The role will involve completing a comprehensive assessment to identify the nature and impact of these difficulties and developing appropriate intervention and practical strategies to optimise functional communication.

The assessment and subsequent intervention will focus on supporting the client across a range of everyday environments, including:

• Functional communication in everyday life
• Social communication and interaction
• Cognitive-communication skills
• Communication within vocational settings
• Practical strategies to support independence and participation
• Identifying strategies for the client and those around them to optimise communication

We’re looking for an SLT with experience in acquired brain injury, cognitive-communication disorders and social communication difficulties, ideally with experience supporting adults in vocational and community settings.

At KT Healthcare, we are committed to fostering excellence in clinical practice and supporting our team to deliver the highest standards of care.

We offer:

• A supportive and professional working environment
• Access to group training and continued professional development
• Regular peer support and 1:1 supervision sessions
• Flexible working arrangements
• Highly competitive rates of pay
• The autonomy to choose your client group or caseload
• Potential for further work and additional referrals

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Speech and Language Therapist seeking a rewarding associate role where they can make a meaningful difference to an adult’s functional communication, independence and participation following acquired brain injury.
