Speech and Language Therapist
Are you an experienced Speech and Language Therapist looking to change the lives of young people? If this sounds like you, we want
to hear from you!
Swaay is looking for a dedicated Speech and Language Therapist to join our multidisciplinary team!
Who Are We?
For over 30 years, SWAAY have been providing specialised, high-quality residential care, education and therapeutic services for
young males aged 11-18 with developmental trauma, attachment difficulties and who have displayed sexually harmful behaviour. We
are widely recognised for the therapeutic services we offer and have contributed to research and literature in the field.
We work to reduce the risk these young people pose, meet their complex needs and help them manage their physical and behavioural
difficulties, so that they can build healthy relationships and go on to lead fulfilling, rewarding and offence-free lives.
As our Speech and Language Therapist, you will work collaboratively for each young person and be responsible for holding your own
speech and language caseload, including working with our diagnostics team to provide neurodevelopmental diagnosis. You will
undertake assessments, deliver comprehensive reports and intervention plans, as well as develop and evaluate individual and group
speech and language programs.
As part of your role, you will also provide guidance and training to staff as part of the ‘whole organisation approach’.
Experience/qualifications:
* Qualified SALT and RCSLT registered
* Hands-on experience working with individuals with social, emotional and mental health needs
* Interaction between SEMH disorders and speech, language and communication needs
* Experience working with young people with ADHD, ASD, FASD, anxiety
* Advanced observational skills in formal and informal settings to guide SALT and neurodevelopmental assessment
* Ability to interpret and manage complex/highly complex facts regarding caseload
* Ability to work in multidisciplinary teams to develop formulations around complex cases
* ADOS and ADI-R training (desirable)
Duties:
* Undertaking specialist assessments of a young person’s speech, language and communication skills (via observations, interviews
with core staff or diagnostic speech and language sessions)
* Writing comprehensive speech and language assessment reports
* Conducting individual and group interventions with the young people residing at SWAAY and those referred for community-based
services
* Providing advice, guidance and training to other SWAAY employees
* Working collaboratively with residential and education staff
Part time 2 -3 days flexibility
We look forward to receiving your application!
For more information about this position, please contact Summer Whittaker at swhittaker@swaay.co.uk [AGeorge@swaay.co.uk]
SWAAY is committed to safeguarding children. This position is subject to an enhanced DBS clearance and satisfactory references.
Our success is built on those who work with us! SWAAY is proud to be an equal opportunities employer and we are committed to
building and maintaining a diverse workforce, celebrating each individual's uniqueness.
