Job overview
We have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and enthusiastic Band 5 Speech & Language Therapist to join our team in North West Wales.

You will provide Speech and Language Therapy Services for patients living in Gwynedd and Anglesey, in a variety of settings including clinics, schools, inpatient, outpatient and domiciliary settings.
Main duties of the job
You will provide person-centred assessment and treatment of communication needs in conjunction with Multidisciplinary team colleagues to improve the quality of life for those referred to our service, and their carers and support staff.
