• Design and deliver high-quality training and practical workshops for school staff, parents, and carers.
• Collaborate alongside existing NHS Speech and Language Therapy provisions to maximise support capacity across our primary and secondary academies.
• Contribute to Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs), maintaining thorough records in accordance with HCPC and RCSLT standards.
