About the role

We are seeking an enthusiastic, creative, and motivated Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist to join our expanding multi‑disciplinary team and work across school, clinical and remote settings. As a Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist, you will play a vital role in unlocking children and young people’s potential by assessing their needs and providing specialised interventions. This is achieved by working collaboratively with parents, carers, multidisciplinary and teaching teams across various school and clinical settings to ensure that interventions are effectively integrated into the young person’s daily life. A key function is equipping key adults in that young person’s life with the skills to confidently support them in achieving their therapy goals.

In this role you will conduct comprehensive assessments of a child or young person’s developmental or learning needs with standardised and non‑standardised assessment tools, develop and implement individualised intervention plans and collaborate with teachers, parents, and other professionals to integrate these goals into the child or young person’s daily environment. The role also involves evaluating intervention effectiveness, providing training and upskilling to key adults, and maintaining accurate documentation. You will actively participate in multidisciplinary meetings to ensure coordinated care for children and young people with complex needs.

You will be working as part of our online school integration service, Momenta 360, supporting children and young people with SEMH, SEN and neurodiversity to reach their full potential in their learning and home settings.

Essential Criteria

• BSc or MSc in Speech and Language Therapy.
• HCPC registration.

Desirable Criteria

• Experience working within a paediatric setting.
• Experience working with EHCPs and SLT provision in a school setting.
• Experience working with complex behaviours.
• Experience completing assessments for Education, Health and Care Plans.
• Specialist CPD and/or training.
• Trauma‑informed care experience.
• Experience working with paediatric social, emotional, and mental health needs.

At LCP, we are committed to the safeguarding and promoting the welfare of people. All successful applicants will be subject to a fully enhanced DBS.
