We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced, flexible and motivated Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist to join the Flying Start team in Neath Port Talbot.

This 0.8wte permanent Band 6 post is based with the multi-agency team at Taibach Library, Port Talbot. You will be working within a friendly and established team of SLTs and SLTAs who work alongside a wider team of Health Visitors, Childcare Workers and Parenting Teams to support a designated population of preschool children.

The team in Flying Start focus on early identification and intervention for a range of speech, language and communication needs. You will be supported to deliver training to the wider Flying Start team and parents/carers. There are opportunities to develop your skills at both a universal and targeted level supporting child care settings in the use of screening and intervention toolkits and in Adult Child Interaction within the family home.

You will experience excellent multiagency support working closely with colleagues from Health and Education as well as supporting Clinical Placements for SLT students.
