Do you combine a “can do” attitude, a top policy mind, a strong knowledge of public services with political interest, experience, and the ability and passion to communicate a cause? With health, education, social care, and equalities high on the Scottish political agenda, this is a chance to be where the policy action is and make a difference.

The Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists is the professional body for the UK’s 18,000 speech & language therapists. The Policy & Public Affairs team handles government policy, liaison with Parliaments and Governments, and campaigning across all four nations of the UK.
