Speech therapists will work in new brain care centre
Thursday 17th June 2010
Speech therapy jobs are set to be created in the West Midlands as a result of the opening of a new brain care centre.
Hunters Moor Neurorehabilitation plans to create nine specialist centres across the UK and the first is being opened in Birmingham.
The Olive Carter Unit will be active next month, followed later in the year by the Janet Barnes Unit.
According to the Birmingham Mail, up to 75 jobs are being made available as a result of the £3.5 million conversion of a disused former nursing home.
Medical director at Hunters Moor Neurorehabilitation Professor Mike Barnes told the news source of plans for further centres, adding: "We chose the West Midlands first as there are very good hospital and acute rehab facilities, but few longer-term 'slow stream' rehab facilities given the population of the region."
The team behind the company previously operated within the NHS in Newcastle upon Tyne for over ten years.
