NHFT GIC provides a range of non-surgical interventions and treatments for trans and non-binary people of which gender affirming voice modification is a key component.

You will be joining a Band 7 Specialist SLT who leads the provision of voice and communication therapy for GIC patients, via face to face consultations within the outpatient clinic as well and remote sessions delivered via video link.
