Those Huge Small Victories

Our clinicians are fulfilled by the idea of affecting even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things.

Get out what you put in

This role is based at Pontville School. We will accept applications from newly-qualified clinicians up to specialist practitioners. You will be working as part of a large MDT, and within an established Speech Therapy team.

Pontville School is an independent specialist day school providing high quality education. With a record of continual outstanding Ofsted results, the school based in Ormskirk is regarded by many as the first choice for speech, language and social communication in the UK.

Our clinicians are a crucial part of the most joined-up model in SEND. Across all of our specialist schools and children’s homes, we provide unrivalled levels of clinical support, both in terms of our expertise and breadth of provision. Our young people present with a complexity of need including developmental trauma, neurodevelopmental conditions and special educational needs.

As part of a multi-disciplinary clinical team, you will support educational and residential colleagues to provide therapeutic living and learning environments. Based on clinical assessment and formulation, you will offer individualised interventions and engagement to our young people. You’ll also assess our young people’s mental health and recommend appropriate interventions in a personalised care plan. Building rapport is key; by doing this, you’ll be able to deliver effective counselling and provide feedback on progress.
