Job Title: Adult Community Speech and Language Therapist Banding: Band 6/7 Location: North Kent (Dartford, Gravesham, Swanley & Swale) Start Date: ASAP Salary: £24.00–£32.00 per hour Working Hours: Full-time or Part-time
Job Overview
We are currently seeking an experienced and dedicated Adult Community Speech and Language Therapist (SALT) to join a busy and supportive team in North Kent. This role covers a large geographical area including Dartford, Gravesham, Swanley, and Swale, providing a dynamic and varied community caseload.
You will be working with adult patients across a range of settings including their own homes, nursing homes, community inpatient rehabilitation wards, outpatient clinics, and virtual platforms where appropriate. The caseload primarily focuses on dysphagia, alongside some communication needs, supporting individuals with conditions such as dementia, stroke, progressive neurological disorders, and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
This opportunity is ideal for a Band 6 or Band 7 therapist who is confident managing a complex caseload and enjoys working autonomously within a multidisciplinary team. While remote working may be considered, there is a preference for candidates who can initially provide face-to-face support.

In this role, you will:
- Assess, diagnose, and manage adults with swallowing (dysphagia) and communication difficulties.
- Deliver evidence-based interventions across a variety of community settings.
- Manage a diverse caseload including patients with dementia, stroke, progressive neurological conditions, and FND.
- Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, carers, and other healthcare professionals.
- Maintain accurate, timely clinical records in line with professional standards.
- Contribute to service development and team meetings as required.
Qualifications and Experience
To be considered for this role, you must have:
- A recognised degree in Speech and Language Therapy (or equivalent).
- HCPC registration and membership (or eligibility) with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
- Experience working with adult community caseloads, including dysphagia management.
- Competence in managing complex conditions such as stroke, dementia, and neurological disorders.
- Strong organisational, communication, and clinical reasoning skills.
