You will initially work closely with and be supervised by a senior Speech and Language Therapist. This will include regular supervision and training to equip you with the skills and confidence to deliver therapy sessions independently and support ongoing programmes.
Role responsibilities:
Deliver therapy sessions following programmes set by the Speech and Language Therapist
Support children’s communication, language, and social development
Adapt activities to meet individual needs
Provide brief feedback following sessions
Travel to different locations for appointments
Essential criteria:
Experience working with children in educational settings
Experience supporting children with additional learning needs / special educational needs
Experience working with autism, ADHD, and social communication needs
Ability to work independently and use initiative
Energetic, engaging, and able to bring fun and enthusiasm into sessions
Full UK driving licence and access to a car
Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)
Desirable:
Relevant college or university qualification (e.g. education, psychology, speech and language therapy, childcare)
Experience working with preschool children
Experience across a wide age range (18 months–16 years)
Experience in healthcare or therapy-based settings
