• Manage a mixed caseload including general acute and stroke patients.
• Work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team, contributing to patient care plans and discharge planning.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date clinical records in line with professional and organisational standards.

To be considered for this role, you must have:
• A recognised degree in Speech and Language Therapy (or equivalent).
• HCPC registration and membership (or eligibility) with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
