An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our dynamic therapy team. We are looking for a full-time band 3 Speech and Language Therapy Assistant.

This is a permanent post, working in our Acute Stroke team at the Lister Hospital.

The post-holder will need to be organised, enthusiastic, a good communicator and ideally have previous experience in a rehabilitation or care delivery setting.

You will support the team with resource building, such as low tech augmentative and alternative communication aids (AAC).

The Speech and Language Therapy Service in East & North Hertfordshire is an integrated acute and community service covering community clinics, inpatient Neurological Rehabilitation and the Acute and Stroke teams based at the Lister Hospital. There are frequent opportunities for gaining skills in other areas and career progression.

You will be joining a highly experienced team of Speech and Language Therapists who work innovatively across acute, community and neurological rehabilitation settings. You will be working within an established and dynamic MDT, with multiple opportunities for joint working.
