Join us as a Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist, in our exciting SEND Therapy Service in West Essex.
We are looking for a Children’s Speech and Language Therapist to work with early years and school-aged children, in their educational settings and their home, as part of our Special Educational Needs (SEND) Therapies team.
You will have the opportunity to work hybrid between visits to local schools and completing virtual sessions from home on a full or part-time basis. The role has core hours during school times (with occasional out of hours for meetings with school staff or parents) with the option to complete your additional hours flexibly.
As you will be visiting local schools as part of your role, a driving license and access to a vehicle is essential.
The bulk of core clinical delivery will take place within school hours and education term dates; however, service needs may not be exclusively term time only, with clinical and administrative work for school holiday periods to be discussed and agreed with the SEND Therapies Manager. The post holder may be required to support the Community Therapy service, if appropriate.
Caseload will be agreed with the SEND Therapies manager, with time allocated for clinical delivery, training, travel, CPD, meetings, and supervision, appropriate to the role and geographical team.

* Access to your wages as you earn them
* Online and face-to-face help with your mental and physical wellbeing
* Access to eLearning, bespoke career pathways, and opportunities for continuing professional development
* An open, just culture where you’re encouraged to have and implement ideas
* The pride of working for an organisation committed to the highest clinical and quality standards
Main Responsibilities
Your key responsibilities will be:
* To manage your own delegated caseload of SEND children independently across a variety of predominantly educational settings.
* To work with parents/carers, education colleagues, the multidisciplinary team, and the wider children’s workforce to provide a coordinated approach to children’s speech, language, and communication needs.
* To assess and formulate treatment plans in collaboration with parents, carers, schools, and other professionals.
* To support the service to meet key performance targets and contribute to agreed service development.
* To work in partnership with other agencies to meet local and national objectives.
* To supervise and allocate work to assistants, SLT students, and less experienced therapists when required.

* Has a registered HCPC registration in Speech and Language Therapy.

* Has a strong interest in paediatric speech therapy.
Experience with the following client groups is desirable:
