Imagine beginning your day at our School, surrounded by passionate Team Members and joyful Pupils, all within a beautiful, inspiring environment that fosters creativity and purpose. You’ll be part of a skilled and dedicated Integrated Therapies Team, working collaboratively to support Children and Young People with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. This is more than just a job, it’s a chance to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who need your expertise, compassion, and support the most.

Your days will be filled with meaningful work. You’ll start each morning with a briefing, sharing updates and celebrating the incredible progress of the Children and Young People we support. From there, you might deliver a 1:1 therapy session, lead an engaging group activity, or join classroom sessions to offer seamless therapeutic support. Every moment is an opportunity to help a child feel seen, understood, and valued.

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. When you’re not directly supporting Pupils, you’ll play key role in equipping education Team Members with the skills to better support their pupils. You’ll partner with our onsite Creative Arts Therapist to develop therapeutic approaches and attend multidisciplinary meetings with parents, Teachers, and external partners to ensure every child receives the tailored care they need.

We’ll support your professional growth with clinical supervision, mentorship, and dedicated time to refine your skills, all within a supportive and nurturing environment.

We’re also keen to hear from confident experienced Band 5 Speech and Language Therapists who are looking for a supportive step‑up into a Band 6 role and want to continue developing their career.

• Working with the wider team to offer the best support to our pupils, including our onsite creative art therapists, teachers, and teaching assistants, and taking part in Multidisciplinary team meetings. This work may include supervisions, training, or taking part in projects related to the work we do.
• Administration. Whilst doing all your great work with the pupils, we’ll need you to keep their records up to date and carry out all the administrative tasks you’d expect to come with this role. Don’t worry though, during the school holidays you can work from home so that you have the space to do this without it impacting the time you spend with the pupils.

• A recognised Degree in Speech and Language Therapy, along with HCPC Registration and membership with the Royal College of Speech and Language.
• Great experience working as a Speech and Language Therapist.
• The desire and confidence to run supervisions and offer training and support to other speech and language therapists.
• Good IT skills – We’ll train you on how to use our systems, but it would help if you had a working understanding of using Microsoft packages like Excel, Word, Outlook and Teams.
• A full driving licence. Whilst this role is based in a single location, there will be times that you need to attend meetings offsite which would require the use of a vehicle.

• Holidays – You’ll get 28 days annual leave, including public holidays. You’ll also get an extra day off on your birthday!
