This is more than a role—it’s a mission to shape brighter futures for young people.

Why You’ll Love This Role

Generous Salary: £41,983 – £49,717 annually, recognising your skill, commitment, and impact.

Term-Time Balance: Paid school holidays, including bank holidays, for true work-life harmony.

Exceptional Environment: Work within a beautifully restored site that combines heritage with modern therapeutic facilities.

Supportive Culture: Be part of a collaborative clinical and educational team that values development, compassion, and innovation.

Induction & Training: A comprehensive onboarding programme and ongoing CPD support for long-term career development.

Clinical Advancement: Access to leading clinical learning pathways, mentoring, and peer supervision.

Flexible Benefits Package: Customise your options—including life insurance, health coverage, and more—to suit your lifestyle.

Wellbeing Support: Full access to mental health resources, employee assistance programmes, and wellness tools.

Medical Reimbursements & Discounts: Claim back optical and dental costs; enjoy discounts across major retailers and services.

What You’ll Be Doing

Provide specialist speech and language therapy as part of a wider clinical team across both school and residential settings.

Conduct detailed assessments, formulations, and interventions tailored to children and young people with neurodevelopmental differences, developmental trauma, and complex needs.

Deliver individual and group therapy sessions, while actively contributing to EHCPs and educational planning.

Offer expert guidance to school staff and residential care teams, enhancing their understanding of communication strategies and therapeutic approaches.

Participate in regular case reviews, multi-agency collaboration, and reflective supervision.

Contribute to shaping therapeutic environments that empower students to engage, grow, and succeed.

Who We’re Looking For

A HCPC-registered Speech and Language Therapist with a proven track record in working with children and young people.

Strong experience in ASD, ADHD, SEMH, and other communication difficulties.

Excellent interpersonal and teamworking skills, with a proactive and confident approach to supporting colleagues.

A skilled communicator, capable of building rapport with young people and their families.

Previous experience in team supervision or training delivery is highly desirable.

A valid driving licence is essential due to occasional travel between sites.
