We are searching for a highly skilled and passionate NZSTA registered Speech-language Therapist (SLT) to join our Haumanu Reo ā-Waha Speech-language Therapy team working with adults in the acute setting.

The Speech-language Therapy service offers a supportive team environment with experienced colleagues and a wide range of opportunities for continuing professional development.
