Speech and Language Clinical and Professional Lead – CFHD
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to parse the job posting content. Let's extract relevant parts. Job title: Devon Partnership NHS Trust Speech and Language Clinical and Professional Lead - CFHD (but we don't repeat as heading). Closing date: 07 October 2026 (metadata). Job Summary: paragraphs. Main duties of the job: bullet list? It's paragraphs. We Are Looking For Someone Who: bullet list of attributes. About Us: description. Details: Date posted, Pay scheme, Salary, Contract, Working pattern, Reference number, Job locations (multiple addresses). Also mention Relocation expenses considered. Job Description: says full vacancy details can be found on attached Job Description/Person Specification. That's basically a pointer; we might not include as it's not substantive. Person Specification: huge list of qualifications and experience essential. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities (main duties), Requirements (maybe person spec?), Qualifications (essential qualifications), Skills (maybe attributes), Benefits (relocation expenses, maybe flexible working), Pay (salary band), Schedule (working pattern, full-time, flexible working). Also maybe location? Not a section heading per rules; we could fold location into a short
under About the role or maybe not include as separate heading. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay: Salary £57,528 to £64,750 a year pro rata. Pay scheme Agenda for change Band Band 8a. So we can include Pay section with that. Schedule: Working pattern Full-time, Flexible working. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: Relocation expenses considered per policy. Also maybe flexible working counts as benefit? But we already have schedule. Could also include "Relocation expenses will be considered". That's a benefit. Also maybe "Permanent contract". Could be benefit? Not sure. We'll keep benefits as relocation expenses. Now we need to avoid duplication. The posting has duplicated lines: "Job Description Job responsibilities Full vacancy details can be found on the attached Job Description/Person Specification. Please refer to your suitability to the post in your supporting information from the role requirements or person specification." appears twice. We'll include only once? Probably we can omit as it's not substantive (just pointer). Better to omit. Also Person Specification duplicated? It appears twice? The text shows Person Specification then repeats the list again? Actually after Person Specification heading, there is a list then later "Person Specification Essential Professional qualification..." repeated? It seems the list is repeated. We'll include each unique item once. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all qualifications, experience, etc. That's a lot. We'll need to output them as list items under appropriate sections. We need to decide which sections to use. Possible sections: - About the role (job summary + about us? maybe combine) - Responsibilities (main duties) - Requirements (maybe "We Are Looking For Someone Who" attributes) - Qualifications (essential qualifications from Person Spec) - Skills (maybe some of the attributes overlapping? Could be separate but we might combine) - Benefits (relocation expenses) - Pay (salary, band) - Schedule (working pattern, full-time, flexible) We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each has content. Now we need to extract the content precisely. Let's copy the relevant text.

The list appears as a long paragraph with items separated by line breaks? Let's extract each bullet. From the text: "Person Specification Qualifications Essential Professional qualification in Speech and Language Therapy / Occupational Therapy / Physiotherapy & current professional registrationPost Graduate Diploma level specialist training, management qualification or equivalent and experience to master's levelEvidence of recent, relevant CPD Experience Essential Extensive knowledge of the provision of healthcare for children, young people and families within the NHSKnowledge of relevant legislation, NHS policy and other national policy relating to children and young people and its implications for area of specialtyHigh level knowledge of health presentations in children and young people and the practice of clinical interventions within area of specialtyKnowledge of evidence-based practice including NICE guidelines and routine outcome monitoring relating to the designated pathwayKnowledge of risk management and ability to monitor and assess risk and act accordingly to ensure safety within area of specialtyKnowledge of supervision, management and leadership practiceUnderstanding of the quality, governance and regulatory framework within the NHSUnderstanding of the complex multi-agency systems providing health, education and social care for children and young peopleKnowledge of service and quality improvement methodologiesWorking knowledge of legislation, regulation, policy, guidance and practice relating to safeguarding childrenKnowledge of research methodology outcome research methodology and ability to critically interpret research findings and dataKnowledge of Information Governance standardsExperience of working collaboratively with service users and their families/carers, clinicians, managers and leadersExperience of Inter-agency working with a successful track record of influencing, and maintaining good working relationshipsExperience of delivering a clinical practice within the area of specialtyExperience of clinical leadershipExperience of supervising others, leading teams and developing positive supervisory relationshipsExperience of integrating principles of human rights diversity and inclusion in clinical and leadership practiceExperience of managing recruitment processes including staff appraisals, performance and sickness management, investigations, recruitment processesExperience in providing effective supervision, teaching, training to professionals within own and partner agenciesExperience of safeguarding children and ensuring the safety of young people in partnership with other agencies as appropriateExperience of using data to improve servicesExperience of initiating, organising and chairing inter-agency meetings including those related to complex clinical mattersExperience of managing complaints, incidents, risksExperience of operational and / or clinical management of clinical teams in health or social careExperience of budgetary responsibility and effective financial managementExperience in leadership in planning and implementing service improvement / development and change within a clinical settingManagement of service user participation and involvement in services and implementation of service change as a result of feedbackExperience of developing and implementing policies and strategiesExperience of collaborative leadership and staff engagementWorking effectively within the local and national political environment" Then later repeats similar list. We need to split into sensible items. Each item seems to start with a capital letter and ends before next capital? But many are long. We'll need to parse manually. Let's attempt to split by recognizing patterns: each item ends before a word like "Experience", "Knowledge", "Understanding", etc. But it's messy. Given the instruction to preserve ALL substantive information, we need to output each item as a list item. We could keep the large block as a single paragraph under Qualifications? But that would lose detail. Better to split into list items. We can approximate by splitting at each occurrence of a capital letter that follows a lowercase letter and a space? Actually the text has no spaces between items: e.g., "...Professional qualification in Speech and Language Therapy / Occupational Therapy / Physiotherapy & current professional registrationPost Graduate Diploma level specialist training..." There's no space between "registration" and "Post". So we need to insert a space before each capital that follows a lowercase letter? But we can't change content; we must preserve exactly. However we can format as list items but we need to keep the text intact. We could keep the
