Speech and Language Therapist

Applications are welcomed from dynamic and inspirational Speech and Language Therapist, who wish to make a difference by safeguarding, raising standards and improving the life chances, behaviour and levels of attainment for some of the most vulnerable students whose previous educational experience, for whatever reason, has not been positive.

We are an Independent Special Needs day school for pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties, Autistic Spectrum disorder and other complex needs. All pupils have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and are placed by a wide range of local authorities. Typically, the pupils placed at our school have had significantly disrupted educational journey's. Our small school with a manageable case load is based on three School Sites across North London and our Outreach services work across 12 Greater London Authorities.

This role involves providing integrated SALT services to young people in our school based over multiple sites which includes a specialist 6th Form provision.

You will be committed to providing the best opportunities for our students and ensuring every young person is supported to achieve their full potential. You will demonstrate a flexible approach to education and therapy, a willingness to get involved in all aspects of school life, and the ability to work under pressure with young people that can challenge us. You will have previous experience of working with young people with autism in other educational settings. Experience of working with young people with behaviour needs or mental health needs would also be desirable.

This role may suit those looking to work a shorter day as our work day is 9am-3pm, term time only.

Please note that we can only accept our standard application form and not CV’s.

Informal discussions are welcomed by contacting the School Office on 0208 446 0300.
