We are seeking a dedicated, motivated, and compassionate Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) to join our school-based team on a permanent basis, providing vital support to pupils with a range of speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN).

You will work with a varied caseload, including pupils with speech delays, language disorders, ASD, SEMH needs, and other developmental challenges.

Passion for working with children and young people in educational settings
Ability to build positive relationships with pupils, staff, and families
