• HCPC Registration as a Speech and Language Therapist.
• Experience: Minimum two years of experience in a clinical or educational setting, ideally with children or young people with SEN and SEMH needs.
• Knowledge of Therapy Approaches: Familiarity with a variety of evidence-based approaches to support language development, including those tailored to students with additional learning needs.
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service and the legal right to work in the UK.
• Safeguarding Awareness: A strong understanding of safeguarding policies and procedures.

Why Join?

We believe in transforming the lives of children and young people facing communication and learning challenges. We are committed to providing personalised therapy that empowers children to find their voice and achieve their full potential.
