Speech Therapist with Interest in Voice Disorders

Together, we are developing Sahlgrenska University Hospital for a sustainable future. We are transforming healthcare with the goal of becoming Europe’s leading university hospital by 2032. Together with patients, we work for quality, accessibility, patient safety, research, education, and innovation – in a cohesive healthcare system in the Västra Götaland region. Our vision and goals aim for care of the highest quality, where the patient is always in focus. We provide healthcare locally and regionally, but also highly specialized care to patients across the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength and contribute to knowledge exchange nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify everyday life in the hospital and offer modern, accessible, and effective care of the highest quality.

About Us

The Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) department is a workplace with approximately 130 employees. We provide both acute and planned outpatient care, day surgery, and inpatient care with both acute and planned surgery.

At the Speech Therapy Clinic within ENT, the focus is on the diagnosis and treatment of children and adults with speech and voice disorders, including stuttering, voice issues, gender dysphoria, nasal disorders, and head and neck cancer. We also assess and treat patients with dysphagia and follow up on children and adolescents with cochlear implants or congenital craniofacial malformations such as cleft lip and palate. Outpatient care is provided at the county, regional, and national levels.

We have a close collaboration with the speech therapy program at the University of Gothenburg and regularly supervise and teach speech therapy students.

We are now looking for a speech therapist with interest and experience in voice disorders for a part-time position of 50%.

What do we offer?

We offer you a dynamic workplace with speech therapy colleagues and other staff working in teams. Regular diagnostic meetings and other training relevant to your position are provided. You will meet both employees and patients involved in research and development.

We strive to continuously develop our working methods and maintain a good communication climate that facilitates collegial learning and provides opportunities to influence both ongoing operations and our long-term development. Our clinic has been LGBTQ-certified since 2016.

Job Responsibilities
