Main duties of the job

Active Neuro, the newly launched specialist division of Active Care Group, is redefining neurorehabilitation in the UK. We are seeking a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist (Band 6 equivalent) to join our growing team at Nottingham Brain Injury and Neurological Care Centre, supporting adults with acquired or traumatic brain injury, neurological conditions, and complex needs.

Working across NHS, private, and medicolegal pathways, our SLTs aren't constrained by short-term rehab windows. You'll have the freedom to set meaningful, long-term, person-centred goals -whether that's helping someone communicate with family again, safely enjoy their favourite meal, use assistive technology to reconnect socially, or regain confidence in their voice and identity.

If you're a Speech and Language Therapist who values autonomy, interdisciplinary working, and the chance to make genuine, long-term impact, this is an opportunity to help shape the future of neurorehabilitation as part of a pioneering service.

Please note - this advert will close once we have received a sufficient number of applications.
