This post offers an exciting opportunity to develop your skills with a mixed adult caseload based in the Hexham area. You will have the opportunity to work within a supportive SLT team and gain experience working with a wide range of clients, including on the hospital wards at Hexham General Hospital and with community clients.
The post holder will be supported by highly specialist clinicians to develop clinical competencies in the areas of complex dysphagia, videofluoroscopy, endoscopy (FEES) service and rehabilitation (including stroke).

We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, in addition to our state-of-the-art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England. We also care for people in their homes and provide services from facilities in local communities. We give people greater choice and control over their care to help them to live independently at home and avoid hospital admission where appropriate. High quality patient care is at the heart of everything we do, and we strive to ensure every single patient and service user has an exceptional experience with us. We have one of the most extensive patient experience programmes of any trust in England.
