An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and experienced Speech and Language Therapist to join our team on a permanent basis. Clinical work will be based in one of our established Child Development Teams as well as the opportunity for a possible rotation within Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital. Both settings have a well-established multi-disciplinary ethos. The post involves working with children with a range of complex communication, eating and drinking difficulties aged from 0-18 years.  

Within the department of Speech and Language Therapy in Combined Child Health, we are committed to staff development through regular meetings, supervision and ongoing support and training. As RACH is a teaching hospital and has a wide range of specialist services (some covering the whole of the North of Scotland), we offer excellent opportunities for personal and professional development.

Car drivers are essential. 

Informal queries are welcomed and we would be open to discuss temporary arrangements or secondment opportunities.
