Description
Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Area 6, Neurology Services, Neurospeech Pathology.
Neurospeech Pathology is Sahlgrenska University Hospital's unit for speech-language pathology care for adult patients with acquired neurological language, speech, and communication disorders, oral motor disorders, and monitoring of swallowing difficulties. The unit is located at Sahlgrenska, Mölndal, Östra, and Högsbo hospitals and is organizationally placed within the Neurology Services division.
We are approximately 15 speech-language pathologists staffing various assignments across the hospitals. The unit has many experienced and competent employees and we maintain close contact with research, education, and development work within our areas. Our assignments often involve teamwork with many other professions.
Two of our employees will be on parental leave, and we therefore need to strengthen the team with a speech-language pathologist positioned at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.
Duties
Standard speech-language pathology duties in inpatient care with patients in the acute phase after stroke. You will also serve as a co-supervisor for speech-language pathology students who are completing their clinical training with us.
As a speech-language pathologist, you assess speech, language, and swallowing abilities and contribute to our patients' rehabilitation in accordance with the person-centered and integrated care pathway for stroke and TIA. You will not perform instrumental swallowing assessments; these are conducted by another unit.
You collaborate with other healthcare providers, both within and outside the hospital, to provide our patients with the best possible care.
We offer you an exciting and varied temporary position at a stroke unit, with other units/activities also being relevant. You will have close collaboration and support from several other speech-language pathology colleagues and the multidisciplinary team, which is the core of stroke unit care, and the opportunity to plan your own work is something we consider essential.
You collaborate with other healthcare providers, both within and outside the hospital, to provide stroke patients with the best possible care.
The work will include a stroke unit as well as a clinic within neurological diseases. Since Sahlgrenska University Hospital is located on several different sites, work will take place at two different locations.
Qualifications
We are looking for you who are an experienced licensed speech-language pathologist. It is advantageous if you have experience in neurospeech pathology healthcare. Flexibility, independence, clarity, and the ability to prioritize are important qualities when working with us.
Selections are made on an ongoing basis.
We warmly welcome your application!
