Are you ready for a rewarding new challenge in a specialist hearing implant centre?

We are looking to recruit a Speech and Language Therapist to join our enthusiastic paediatric Hearing Implant Rehabilitation Team on a permanent basis.

This post provides an exciting opportunity for Speech and Language Therapists to extend and consolidate their professional experience working with infants, children and young people with conductive and severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss.
