National Speech and Language Therapy Coordinator

Scope of the role

At Down Syndrome Ireland (DSI) we are a dynamic and progressive organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with Down syndrome. We provide support, information, and advocacy services to people with Down syndrome and their families across Ireland.

Our mission is to empower and enable individuals with Down syndrome to achieve their full potential and lead fulfilling lives.

Additionally, the Coordinator will be responsible for developing a specialized speech and language program/model tailored to the unique needs of individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

Based in our National Office, you would be part of an experienced professional team who are passionate about changing lives.

You will be responsible for the development of best practice, evidence-led therapy services across Down Syndrome Ireland.

You will gather statistics regarding therapy provision and therapy outcomes, collaborating with the National Research and Support Specialist to add to the current evidence base. You will document best practice and develop information and case studies which can be used to advocate for improvements in state services.

There will be an annual budget for CPD, and peer supervision will be facilitated.
