Introducing the RCSLT Support workers' framework and hub
Manage episode 365216242 series 2863451
We all know that the NHS is under enormous pressure and so we need to start being more innovative about ways in which we can resource the NHS. Support workers, of course, play an enormously important role, both within the NHS and further afield.
The RCSLT has developed a framework which is specific to speech and language therapist support workers, which defines the competencies and skills required in the role, how are these recognised and how should supervision take place, as well as providing a structure for the career progression of support workers.
In this podcast, we are joined by some of the people who were involved in the development of that framework. And they’re here to talk to us about what it is and why it matters. Whether you’re a support worker, an speech and language therapist, or a manager.
Interviewees:
- Alice Howells - speech and language therapy masters student
- Ruth Howes - Lead author of the framework and Specialist SLT
- Charlotte McCollum - SeniorSpeech and Language Therapist, Chatterbug Ltd
- Samantha Thinnesen - Speech and Language Therapy Assistant in Head, Neck and Voice
Resources:
- The RCSLT Support Workers Hub with links to the framework: https://www.rcslt.org/members/your-career/support-workers-hub/?option=saml_user_login
The interview was produced by Jacques Strauss, freelance digital producer.
