Description
Job summary
Thanks to a successful bid for National Stroke SQUIRE funding, an innovative and exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced FEES trained Speech and Language Therapist (SLT). The role includes providing consultative specialist advice and support for Community stroke and neuro SLTs working in the field of dysphagia and the setting up, overseeing and evaluation of a pilot SWL Community Fibre-optic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) Service.

Applicants will have extensive FEES experience in the adult setting, and good working knowledge of neurological dysphagia presentations and rehabilitation, ideally within a community setting.
The service is committed to continuing professional development and offers many learning opportunities through in-house training, journal clubs, peer support and specialist courses as required.
This is a full time post, however applications for part time hours may be considered for the right applicant.
