The Opportunity

A specialist education provider is seeking a Speech & Language Therapist to join its established multidisciplinary therapy team.

This is an excellent opportunity for either a newly qualified therapist looking to develop their experience within education or an experienced clinician seeking a collaborative environment where therapy is fully embedded into the school day.

Working as part of a wider therapy and education team, you will support children and young people with a range of communication needs, helping them access learning, develop independence and achieve positive outcomes both academically and socially.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a caseload of children and young people with speech, language and communication needs

• Complete specialist assessments and develop individualised therapy programmes

• Deliver direct and indirect interventions across the school environment

• Contribute to EHCP reviews, annual reviews and multidisciplinary planning meetings

• Work closely with teachers, support staff and families to embed communication strategies

• Provide advice, modelling and training to school staff

• Monitor progress and measure outcomes against agreed targets

• Produce high-quality reports and maintain accurate clinical records

• Contribute to a whole-school communication-friendly approach

What We're Looking For

• Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary environment

• Passion for improving outcomes for children and young people with additional needs

• Commitment to evidence-based practice and professional development

Experience within SEN schools, paediatrics, community services or specialist educational settings would be advantageous but is not essential.
