Speech Therapist jobs in Brazil

Full-time | Job share and part-time options considered | Includes weekend working

Are you ready to take your SLT career to the next level? We’re looking for a passionate, skilled, and forward-thinking Speech and Language Therapist to join our Acute Adult SLT team in a newly created Band 7 role. This is your opportunity to shape how SLT supports frailty care at the hospital front door—and beyond.

• Be a changemaker: This post is part of the Discharge Without Delay (DWD) initiative, designed to improve patient flow and reduce unnecessary admissions.
• Work across boundaries: You’ll collaborate closely with both hospital and community SLT teams, helping to ensure safe, timely decisions for frail adults.
• Lead with impact: Your early assessments will contribute directly to comprehensive geriatric care, influencing outcomes from the moment patients arrive.

• Deliver specialist SLT assessment and input in fast-paced acute and emergency settings
• Build strong links with Aberdeen City Health & Social Care Partnership SLT teams
• Support admission prevention and safe discharge planning
• Contribute to MDT education and service development
• Bring innovation to how SLT supports frailty care in front door services

• Depth of clinical knowledge and experience working with frail adults
• Confidence in acute/emergency care environments
• A collaborative mindset and strong MDT working skills
• Flexibility to support community SLT services during peak times
• A passion for quality improvement and service innovation

• A supportive team with structured peer mentoring and supervision
• Opportunities to work in a hospital team with diverse SLT specialities including stroke, ENT, head & neck cancer, and neurosciences
• A chance to shape a new service area and grow your leadership skills

This is more than a job—it’s a chance to lead, innovate, and grow in a new role that bridges hospital and community care.

If you’re ready to make a meaningful impact and take ownership of a new frontier in SLT, we’d love to hear from you.
