Taunton Somerset, United Kingdom Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We have a rare opportunity to join a dynamic, friendly team of speech and language therapists in Somerset.


This is a mixed post covering 2-3 days a week based in the Somerset Neuro Rehabilitation Centre (SNRC) working with a complex caseload of patients recovering from a traumatic head injury (or similar neurological event). The rest of the week will be working in the community supporting patients recovering from stroke and/or brain injury.


The post is full time covering Monday to Friday, however a flexible working pattern and/or part time hours can be considered.


Our team has a well established supervision and support network in place. We value the importance of staff well-being and have appointed a well-being lead in the service to ensure all staff have access to well-being support alongside their one to one sessions and clinical supervision.


We are willing to support a Band 5 therapist with relevant experience who is keen to progress to a Band 6 role.

The benefits of working in Somerset include the idyllic countryside, with our areas of outstanding beauty and stunning coastlines. You will get to enjoy these perks whilst still only being a stone's throw away from bustling city centres like Bristol, Bath and Exeter and only two hours away from London.


There are excellent educational facilities in the area and, when compared to other regions, house prices are reasonable. You will experience the best of both in Somerset, the countryside and the cosmopolitan - there is truly something for everyone
