    An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and compassionate Specialist Speech and Language Therapist to join our supportive SLT team at St Andrew's Healthcare covering the Neuropsychiatry inpatient service at St Andrew's Healthcare, Northampton.

They will receive direct support from a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, as well as peer support from other Specialists within the team.
