This is an exciting opportunity for a Speech and Language therapist to join our team. We are a company, who have for over 20 years specialised in rehabilitation of both adult and paediatric acquired brain injury. The company was founded on the ethos of putting our patients first and providing the best quality care we can. Which has always remained core to our business practices. 

As such therapists have caseloads which allow them to create specialist programmes for each client. Therapists can work with the same client and their family for years, allowing them to build up a specialist rapport we believe is important to help achieve the best outcomes for our clients. Input into patients is decided based on client need and unnecessary paperwork is kept to a minimum. We pride ourselves on providing a high standard of specialist input to children and adults as part of a medico-legal claim.

Our therapists have the freedom to decide on and pursue training in fields that interest them most. We enjoy working together to help and support them to pursue their clinical goals. In addition to attending conferences, where they can share insights with other SLT and allied health professionals.
