This is an exciting opportunity for a highly specialist Speech and Language Therapist to pioneer and develop Speech and Language Therapy provision across Hampshire’s Forensic Learning Disability and Mental Health Services.
Working across inpatient mental health and learning disability wards, as well as the Forensic Community Learning Disability Team, you will provide specialist assessment, formulation and intervention for individuals with complex communication and dysphagia needs. Service users may have learning disabilities, autism and/or mental health conditions, and many will have contact with, or be at risk of contact with, the Criminal Justice System.
You will play a key role in identifying and addressing communication difficulties that can impact engagement, behaviour, risk and recovery. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will support the development of communication-friendly environments, contribute to care planning and risk management, and promote accessible, person-centred care.
This unique role offers the opportunity to influence service development, raise the profile of Speech and Language Therapy within forensic services, and make a lasting difference to the lives of people with highly complex needs across both inpatient and community settings.
