The ability to engage with people in a positive, supportive and empowering way is essential to this role.

The successful candidate will be a qualified Speech and Language Therapist registered with the HCPC, with post-qualification experience working with adults with neurological conditions. Dysphagia training is essential, and experience with the neurobehavioural model and within a rehabilitation setting is highly desirable. Strong report writing skills and a commitment to evidence-based practice are key, along with the ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team.

The salary for this post is between £49,630 and £56,530 per annum, depending on experience, and includes a location allowance. 38 days annual leave including bank holidays, and access to a range of excellent benefits.
