• Deliver therapy both in clinic settings and via home visits across the community.
• Independently manage dysphagia patients, including those with acquired neurological conditions.
• Work within acute hospital and community environments to provide continuity of care.
• Contribute to multidisciplinary team meetings and ensure collaborative working with other professionals.
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date clinical documentation in line with professional and service standards.
