The successful applicant will provide Speech and Language Therapy within each clinical speciality, remaining within each area for 9 months.

In addition, each rotation offers the opportunity to develop broader specialist skills, such as supervision of Band 5 therapists, and tracheostomy and videofluoroscopy competencies.

The acute SLT team works closely with the wider multidisciplinary teams.
