Working term-time in school hours, you'll deliver assessments, personalised interventions, and contribute to EHCPs and reviews. You'll work alongside teachers, TAs, and external professionals in an environment that champions communication development, emotional literacy, and inclusive practice.

You'll benefit from a competitive London-weighted salary, opportunities for regular CPD, and a setting that supports both clinical expertise and personal wellbeing.
