The Speech and Language Therapy team is part of a multidisciplinary in-house therapy team including other Psychotherapists, Occupational Therapists, and Behaviour Specialists, which the Head of Therapy oversees. The Therapy Team works with the autistic people we support, including children and young people at Portfield School. We offer a collaborative and integrated approach to therapeutic input, working closely with our colleagues who know the individual to provide a holistic and person-centered experience.
Your day as a Speech and Language Therapist would include:
* Supporting the creative and innovative SALT therapy using a positive behaviour model predominantly within Portfield School.
* Evaluating and planning best practice methods to improve therapy tools
* Working collaboratively within the therapy team, including a designated speech and therapy team of four, to ensure all plans are focused on a person-centered approach and ensuring the people we support are top priority
* Participating in reflective practice and using this as a continuous personal development guide
