Summary
Speech and Language Therapist – Full Time (Term Time plus 4 weeks)
Based in the West Yorkshire area
We have a fantastic opportunity for a qualified Band 5 Speech and Language Therapist to work with children with speech, language and communication needs in mainstream schools.
About LINGO
We’re an independent family business who have a shared commitment: supporting children to communicate to the best of their ability. At LINGO, we support children with speech, language and communication needs through direct therapy, school-based interventions, training and consultancy. Our team of therapists work with schools – from early years through to secondary – though also work with parents and wider professionals.
We believe in building strong relationships and use practical, evidence-based approaches to enable positive outcomes. We offer consultancy to Trusts, schools and settings, deliver training courses and conferences and are working nationally with charities and universities on various projects and research across the country.
We are a small, highly motivated team who are passionate about the importance of communication and developing these crucial skills in the children and young people we work with. We’re proud of the impact we make, and we’re now looking to grow our team with someone who shares our ethos.
About the Role
This post is full time, term time plus 4 weeks, working in primary and secondary mainstream schools in West Yorkshire.
You will work in a number of schools on a regular basis, working with staff to support best practice in developing and supporting children’s speech, language and communication, and working directly with pupils. The role involves working with children with a range of language difficulties, working predominantly with small groups and within mainstream classrooms.
Training will be provided to the successful candidate for a range of interventions offered to schools and support will be given for recently qualified therapists, working alongside more experienced colleagues in the first instance.
We are a small, highly motivated team who are passionate about the importance of communication and developing these crucial skills in the children and young people we work with. We believe strongly in evidence based practice and in capturing the impact we are having on children’s speech, language and communication.
We are looking for someone with similar values to join our team. You will need to be well organised, have the ability to work flexibly and to seek support when needed. Experience is less important than the right ethos; to be passionate about what you do and provide a robust and reliable service to our schools, teaching staff and pupils.
As an independent therapy service, we collaborate with NHS colleagues wherever possible and work with schools to involve parents.
As there is travel between schools, candidates are required to have a valid driving licence and access to their own vehicle.
What we offer
We know that to do your best work, you need to feel supported, valued, and part of a team. Here’s what you can expect as part of LINGO:
• Regular Team Days: We meet in the office for a day each fortnight to connect, share ideas and focus on professional development.
• Hybrid Working: When you're not in schools, there's flexibility to work from home to complete admin tasks.
• Ongoing Development: We actively support learning and will help you access courses, resources or training.
• Supportive Team Environment: You'll be part of a small, close-knit team with a wide range of experience – we’re collaborative, approachable and always happy to help.
• Term-Time Working: Enjoy school holidays off, or we can be flexible and additional working days across the year could be an option.
• Competitive Package: Our pay and maternity offer is in line with NHS Band 5 and we have a work based pension scheme – we regularly review how we can make things better for our team.
Details
• Full time (term time plus 4 weeks).
• Based in West Yorkshire area – travel across schools required.
• Enhanced DBS check and suitable references will be required.
• Start date: 1st September 2025.
