• Significant experience working with adults in acute hospital settings
• Advanced skills in dysphagia and complex communication assessment and management
• A passion for leadership, service improvement and developing others
• 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.
