Job Description:

Join our specialist gender affirming voice therapy team and help people develop a voice that reflects their identity and personal goals. We are seeking an enthusiastic speech and language therapist to provide individual and group interventions within a supportive, innovative and inclusive service. You will manage a varied caseload, receive regular supervision from a highly specialist SLT, and work within a well-established multidisciplinary team. This is an excellent opportunity to develop specialist voice skills and make a meaningful difference to people’s confidence, wellbeing and self-expression.

While direct experience in gender affirming voice therapy is desirable for this post, we recognise that opportunities to develop expertise within this specialist area can be limited. We therefore welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate transferable skills from other areas of speech and language therapy, as well as those with relevant experience in singing, music, voice acting, or other voice-related disciplines.

Training and support can be provided to suitably qualified applicants who demonstrate a commitment to the values and ethos of our service.

Applications for agile working will be considered

  • Deliver specialist gender affirming voice therapy to adults accessing Sussex Gender Service
  • Manage a defined caseload, undertaking voice evaluation, intervention and teaching
  • Deliver both individual and group therapy sessions
  • Contribute to clinical discussions and multidisciplinary working
  • Participate in service development, audit and quality improvement activities
  • Promote evidence-based and inclusive clinical practice
  • Support student learning and peer development where appropriate

We are based at St Peter’s Health Centre in Brighton, conveniently located less than half a mile from Brighton Station—just a 10‑minute walk. You will have access to a purpose‑built, sound‑treated voice therapy room, with the flexibility to work both on site and from home.

  • Flexible hours, part‑time roles, job sharing, and hybrid working.
  • Home working is well supported, with funded equipment provided to help you work comfortably and effectively.

At Sussex Gender Service, we are committed to building a diverse and representative workforce. We recognise that our current team is predominantly White British, and we are actively working to broaden this. We warmly welcome applications from people who are trans, non‑binary or intersex, and from those of Global Majority backgrounds.

We place a strong emphasis on staff wellbeing and development. You will be supported through regular supervision, annual appraisals, reflective practice sessions, and access to coaching and mentoring. Staff are also encouraged to connect through our eight staff networks, with protected time to attend meetings and events.

We are committed to creating an accessible working environment. We can provide equipment and software tailored to your needs, such as speech‑to‑text tools or ergonomic equipment and will support you to apply for additional funding where appropriate (i.e. Access to Work).
