Job description
We have a fantastic opportunity for a band 5 Speech and Language Therapist to work with children with speech, language and communication needs in mainstream schools.
This post is full time, term time plus four weeks covering the Morcombe & Blackpool area, working in primary mainstream schools mainly in West Yorkshire, which would suit an experienced or a recently qualified speech and language therapist.
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 speech, language and communication needs.
Training will be provided to the successful candidate for a range of interventions offered to schools and support will be given for newly or recently qualified therapists, working alongside more experienced colleagues in the first instance.
We are a 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.
Successful candidates will need to meet the person specification in order to be offered this post. All candidates will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and reference checks.
