We are seeking an enthusiastic, creative, and motivated Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist to join our expanding multi‑disciplinary team and working in our Epsom Clinical Hub in a hybrid school and outpatient clinic setting.

As a Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist, you will play a vital role in unlocking children and young people's potential by assessing their needs and providing specialised interventions in school‑based and clinic‑based settings.

You will evaluate intervention effectiveness, provide training and upskilling to key adults, and maintain accurate documentation.

You will also actively participate in multidisciplinary meetings to ensure coordinated care for children and young people with complex needs.

You will hold an independent caseload within the outpatient clinic site alongside dedicated work days in the conjoined SEND school setting, working collaboratively with the on‑site therapy team and teaching staff to deliver therapy provision within the learning environment.
