We offer extensive support both from the SLT team and the wider multidisciplinary team. There is a well-developed supervision structure in place.

The post holder will provide a speech and language therapy service to adults with communication and swallowing difficulties. Experience working independently in assessing and treating people with dysphagia is essential for this role.
