An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our friendly Therapies team in the Integrated Care Directorate at Velindre Cancer Centre on a full-time basis (37.5 hours per week) for a 6-month fixed term period, due to maternity cover. Part-time hours would also be considered. Secondment cover would also be considered for this post; those seeking a secondment should gain agreement from their current line manager prior to applying for the post.
Whilst this is being advertised as a Band 7 post, we will consider employing a Band 6 therapist with an appropriate skill set.

Experience of working as a Speech and Language Therapist in acute and rehabilitative care, including experience of working with communication and swallowing problems, is required. The successful candidate will need to be able to manage a clinical caseload, have excellent time management and prioritisation skills along with team working skills.
This is a fixed term/secondment for 6 months to cover maternity.
The Highly Specialist Oncology Speech and Language Therapist will work alongside the Speech and Language Therapy team to deliver a high-quality service to their patient population. The role will involve working directly with cancer patients across inpatients; outpatients; ambulatory care; and radiotherapy services within the cancer centre. The post holder will see a specialist caseload of cancer patients, including head and neck cancers and other cancer types. Alongside their clinical duties, the successful candidate will undertake service development, best practice projects, and audit. They will also be responsible for undertaking teaching of other health care professionals and supervision of other Speech and Language Therapists and undergraduate students.
