This includes purpose-built teaching and clinic spaces for a range of health services.

The successful candidate will be an HCPC/RCSLT registered speech and language therapist who has successfully completed their NQP competencies.

The role will include both clinical work in the Marjon SLT clinic, and an opportunity to join our dedicated team of academics delivering the curriculum to our undergraduate students and apprentices.

There are opportunities for career progression in line with university processes both in the clinical and academic spaces.

Our specialist SLT clinic uses a pioneering model of service delivery both on-site and in the community. We offer a person-led service that is responsive to individual and contracted service need. At its heart is the innovative, flexible student placement education provision to students across the SLT programme. These opportunities include both formal placements and voluntary work.

We have a well-established history of integrating speech & language therapy provision into specialist provision including schools, social care and alternative provisions. As part of the university’s expanding School of Health, we secured funding to develop the Southwest’s first highly specialist ultrasound service for differential diagnosis and bio-feedback in speech disorders.
