  • Undertake comprehensive assessments and develop individualised therapy plans.

  • Work closely with teaching staff, parents, and other professionals to support communication across educational and home settings.

  • Provide input in multidisciplinary meetings, annual reviews, and Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) processes.

  • Document therapy goals, progress, and outcomes in line with clinical and legal standards.

  • Provide advice, strategies, and resources to support staff in embedding communication approaches into daily school routines.

Qualifications and Experience

To be considered for this role, you must have:

  • A recognised degree in Speech and Language Therapy (or equivalent).

  • Current HCPC registration.

  • Experience working with children and young people with complex needs in a special school or SEN setting.

  • Knowledge of autism, learning disabilities, and alternative communication approaches (e.g., PECS, AAC).

  • Strong teamworking, communication, and interpersonal skills.

  • A flexible and innovative approach to therapy delivery in an educational environment.
