Would you like to work as a speech therapist in our hospital and contribute to the care of our patients? Then read on quickly! We are looking for two new colleagues, one of whom is for maternity leave replacement.

Your new job
As a speech therapist, you help patients to function as independently as possible. You treat and guide patients with problems in communicative functioning and swallowing problems. You explain clearly what is happening and give practical advice regarding lifestyle and the use of aids. These patients are located in departments such as neurology, pulmonology, and internal medicine.

You actively involve family and loved ones in the care. You provide them with explanations and instructions so that they can support the patient well. You also provide targeted exercises and tips for communication problems and problems with eating and drinking.

You monitor progress and write reports for doctors and nurses. You work together with other healthcare professionals in a multidisciplinary team.

What does the day look like?
You start the day with a short briefing with your colleagues. Together you discuss the work and distribute the tasks, matching everyone's knowledge and experience. Afterwards, you go to the various clinical departments or perform other activities.

You map out the request for help and start with research, treatment, and providing clear advice that fits into the patient's daily life.

During your work, you have a lot of contact with other healthcare providers. You consult with therapists, nurses, nutrition assistants, and doctors. Together you ensure good coordination of the treatment.

You participate in multidisciplinary consultations (MDO) and think along about how care can be better organized. You also work on your own development and that of the team. Your workday does not always go as planned. That requires you to be able to switch gears and respond well to changes. This keeps your work varied and ensures you learn something new every day.

What do you bring?
You enjoy working with adults and the elderly. You can work well independently and also collaborate with colleagues. You take initiative and take responsibility in your work. You dare to give your opinion and stand up for yourself. You communicate clearly, both orally and in writing, with patients, their families, and colleagues such as nurses and doctors.

Welcome to the team
You will be working in a team of 7 speech therapists. Together you work for almost all clinical departments and outpatient rehabilitation. You are flexibly deployable and work at various locations.

'With a refreshing perspective and attention for others, we stand together for the best care in the region.'
