About the Role

This is a generalist position and you will be working across a range of settings (inpatients, outpatients, community) with patients with a variety of communication and swallowing disorders.

This role would be well suited to an SLT with experience who is looking for a varied clinical role or a recent graduate who is looking for an opportunity to develop a wide range of skills in a supportive environment; clinical supervision will be provided.

About the Team/Service/ Location

We are a small but dedicated and friendly SLT team. We aim to deliver a high quality, patient centered, responsive, evidence-based and equitable speech language therapy service. We place high value on creating a safe and inclusive working environment.
