Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists

We are the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT), the professional body for speech and language therapists in the UK. Our mission is to improve the lives of people with communication and swallowing needs by empowering our 20,000+ members, influencing decision-makers, and educating the public.

There has never been a more exciting time to join the RCSLT. After two years of uncertainty and change, the RCSLT is looking forward to the future with strategic focus, with equality, diversity and inclusion a central theme of our vision, along with working together with service users, and with an emphasis on environmental sustainability.

With the forthcoming retirement of our Chief Executive, Kamini Gadhok MBE, we are now looking for an exceptional individual to succeed her in providing leadership to the RCSLT. Accountable to the membership via the Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive will be responsible for ensuring the continued development and delivery of our strategy, as well as day-to-day operations and management. They will act as the public face and ambassador for the RCSLT, providing motivation for staff and members.

The successful candidate will be an inspirational leader with senior management level experience in a relevant sector, and a track record of influencing externally at senior levels with excellent interpersonal skills. Demonstrating the ability to lead and motivate a team with compassion, they will understand what it takes to make an organisation digitally smart. They will need to demonstrate a commitment to equality and diversity, and embody our values as an organisation.
