Speech and Language Therapy Clinic Practice Educator

0.6 FTE / 21 Hours per week

Who we’re looking for:

Plymouth Marjon has a proud 30-year history of graduating speech and language therapists, and we are ready to welcome a new member of staff to our team.

We are looking for a new colleague to join our team of SLT lecturers and practice educators. The role will include both clinical work in the Marjon SLT clinic, and some lecturing duties to undergraduate students and apprentices.  

Our dedicated SLT clinic is based at the university, but also provides services in our local community.  Alongside the delivery of a clinical service, this post will focus on supporting SLT students on clinical placement across the year. At present, the majority of clinic users are children and their families although we are seeking to extend our service for people with acquired disorders. The postholder will therefore need to be confident in working with a paediatric caseload. The successful candidate will be an HCPC/RCSLT registered speech and language therapist with at least 2 years of clinical experience.  

The postholder will need to be flexible as the split between clinic and lecturing duties will vary across the year according to the needs of the academic timetable.

The post holder will be required to demonstrate excellent interpersonal, teamwork and communication skills commensurate with completing the duties expected of a lecturer in Higher Education.  This appointment is subject to an enhanced level children and adults barred list disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys clinical practice but is also looking to develop their skills as an academic.

What you’d be doing:

This post will support the provision of speech and language therapy pre-registration education at Plymouth Marjon and will be part of our growing School of Health and Wellbeing which includes other AHP and Nursing programmes. 

The post-holder will work as part of the SLT Clinic team to further develop and deliver high quality SLT Provision to clinic users and excellent clinical placement experience to SLT students.

The post-holder will also undertake some lecturing duties to include preparation and delivery of teaching including assessment tasks.

It is expected that the post holder will be an experienced practitioner who has remained up to date with the profession by engaging in continuing professional development and is currently or recently practising. 

Where you’ll work:

In this role, you’ll be based in the SLT team, on our green campus in the north of Plymouth.

In order to be successful in this role, you will be required to work on site.

For an informal discussion about the role please contact Dr Julia Stewart, Associate Dean of the School of Health & Wellbeing, on jstewart@marjon.ac.uk
