About the role
We understand the value of helping our employees to achieve their Continued Professional Development goals and offer a £2,000 training allowance in the first year to allow you to complete role specific training tailored to your individual requirements.
This is a really exciting time to join our growing clinical team supporting the school. This post provides the successful candidate with an opportunity to help us develop the Speech and Language Therapy offer working alongside the Lead Clinician, Regional Clinical Lead and Head of Speech and Language Therapy.
We are looking for a candidate who has experience of putting in place preventative interventions at a systems level with a whole school approach at the forefront of their mind. The role will involve working collaboratively with education staff and other clinical disciplines to maximize impact for all students.
You will be responsible for holding a speech and language therapy caseload and with the full support of our knowledgeable Clinical Team, you will also contribute to staff training and consultation. Both a challenging and rewarding role, this position would suit a resilient and enthusiastic individual, with a creative therapeutic approach and the ability to make decisions, as well as manage their own workload. In addition, you will provide information and training to staff, commissioners and other agencies as required. You may also be required to support with line management and clinical supervision of junior members of the team.
Our Clinical Teams help maintain a person centred, empowering approach always putting the people we support at the forefront of everything they do. All our settings maintain a strong safeguarding culture, and the people we support are heard, respected, and involved in decisions that affect them.
We strive for excellence, which is why we are one of the leading service providers in the UK. With this in mind, we are looking for a Speech and Language Therapist who shares our vision to use innovative approaches to enhance the quality of life of the people in our care.
