Senior Speech and Language Therapy Posts Permanent Full-time and Part-time Based in CRC Children’s Disability Network Teams
The CRC Children’s Disability Network Teams (CDNT) provide intervention to children from the age of 0-18 years, presenting with complex developmental needs requiring inter‑disciplinary intervention. Our services are based upon a Family Centered Practice Model in line with the Progressing Disability Services. This is an exciting opportunity to work as part of a dynamic team. During 2024 the CRC has embarked on a programme of organisational transformation. Partnering with the Virginia Mason Institute, a world leader in supporting healthcare organisations through continuous improvement and transformational change, we would love to hear from you if you are excited about the chance to become part of our forward‑thinking children’s teams and contribute to implementing lean healthcare practices. Our new strategy, Creating Pathways that Empower and Enable, is not just a document — it is a commitment to delivering children’s disability services in a more connected, equitable, and responsive way. We are strengthening a culture of transparency, collaboration, and person‑centred services, where communication, partnership, and continuous learning guide everything we do.
We are looking for someone who lives our values of Respect, Person‑Centredness, Collaboration, Quality, Courage and Stewardship. Someone with integrity, purpose and a genuine belief in the potential of every child and family we support. If you thrive in a dynamic environment where innovation matters, where courage in decision‑making is valued, and where transformation is a shared endeavour, this role will give you the opportunity to shape the future of children’s community disability services.
We currently have vacancies for permanent contracts across our Dublin CDNTs.
