Job overview

Are you a Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist with a broad range of clinical skills and experience? Do you strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for children and young people with speech, language and communication needs? Are you flexible and motivated? Do you work well in a team? Then we are the team for you 

We are looking for Band 6 Speech and Language Therapists on a permanent basis to work within our friendly and established teams of both Therapists and Assistant Practitioners across a range of settings and specialties within Swansea Bay including Flying Start.

You will support and facilitate student placements and mentor new members of staff. Experience of working in and managing a number of schools is desirable but support will be given. Working with Welsh medium pupils forms part of the role and so the ability to speak Welsh is desirable. There will be opportunities to gain skills organising and creating training, developing supervision skills and participating in total team development days and team meetings. You will also work with our senior therapists and wider team to ensure our service provides efficient, effective, patient centred care.

There are also apprenticeships, work placements and volunteering roles available.

We are an inclusive employer and welcome applications from everyone whatever their sex; religion or belief; race; age; sexual orientation; gender identity or, whether they are pregnant or have recently been on maternity leave, married or are in a civil partnership; or, whether they are disabled.

Our values - Caring For Each Other, Working Together and Always Improving, show that our commitment to equality is at the heart of everything we do.
