During this period, you will receive additional support and guidance as you familiarize yourself with the specific requirements of the position and the Trust’s policies and procedures.

Person Requirements

To be eligible for this position, you must hold a recognised professional degree qualification in Speech and Language Therapy and be a registered member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). These qualifications are essential for practicing as a speech and language therapist in the UK and ensure that you meet the professional standards required for this role. The registration with HCPC demonstrates your commitment to maintaining professional standards and ongoing professional development.

Clinical Expertise Required

You will need specialist clinical knowledge and skills in the assessment of communication and intervention techniques relevant to mental health settings. This includes understanding how various psychiatric conditions and dual diagnoses impact communication skills, as well as knowledge of how trauma and adverse childhood experiences relate to communication needs. These specialized skills are critical for working effectively with the complex client population served by this service.

Desirable Experience

While not essential, experience working within mental health, CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services), secure care, or learning disability environments would be advantageous. Similarly, experience working with neurodiverse populations and supervision of students (including completion of NQP documentation) would strengthen your application. These experiences demonstrate your adaptability and preparedness for the diverse challenges of this role.

The Trust is characterised by areas of high deprivation, which creates an increasing demand for our services and a necessity to ensure everyone can access the help they need. As a team of compassionate, inclusive, and committed people, we work together to provide excellent care to support our community. If you are looking for a place to belong where you can make a real difference to people’s lives, our warm welcome is waiting for you.

Location and Facilities

The position is based at Ardenleigh Hospital, located at Kingsbury Road, Birmingham, B24 9SA. The hospital provides modern facilities and a supportive working environment designed to meet the needs of both staff and patients. Birmingham itself offers excellent transport links, affordable housing options compared to other major UK cities, and a diverse cultural scene. The city’s central location makes it easily accessible from other parts of the UK and provides opportunities for both urban and suburban living.

Certificate of Sponsorship

Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust welcomes applications from international candidates requiring current Skilled Worker sponsorship to work in the UK. If you are qualified and experienced in speech and language therapy with a particular interest in mental health settings, we encourage you to apply. The Trust will consider sponsorship applications alongside all other applications, providing equal opportunities for qualified candidates regardless of their country of origin.

Visa Requirements

Applicants requiring sponsorship must note that from 6 April 2017, skilled worker applicants applying for entry clearance into the UK must present a criminal record certificate from each country where they have resided continuously or cumulatively for 12 months or more in the past 10 years. Adult dependants (over 18 years old) are also subject to this requirement. Applicants must also have current UK professional registration with the Health and Care Professions Council to be eligible for this position.

Disclosure and Barring Service

This post is subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exceptions Order) 1975, which means a submission for Disclosure will be made to the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly known as CRB) to check for any previous criminal convictions. This standard safeguarding measure is required for all roles working with vulnerable populations in the NHS. All information will be handled confidentially and will not automatically exclude candidates from consideration.
