• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic clinical environment

If you’re ready to step into a role where your expertise will shape services, influence practice and directly impact patient outcomes, we would love to hear from you.

The post holder will join a highly supportive and innovative Speech and Language Therapy Service comprising 34wte SLTs serving ENT/Maxillofacial/Head and Neck, Neurosciences, Acute Medicine including complex airways and Outpatients. The Department offers comprehensive supervision in conjunction with a well-established Continuing Professional Development program and access to regular staff meetings.

You will be working with one of the most forward-thinking, pioneering and well-respected Trusts in the UK. With St James’s University Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary being two of the largest teaching hospitals in Europe, our reputation for excellence has seen us train thousands of medical specialists who now practice all over the world.
