The Holmewood School, part of the Cavendish Education group, can offer you the benefits of working in a small, warm and friendly independent school with a good holiday package and excellent professional training & development, with requirement to work 4 weeks within holidays over the academic year.

We meet the needs of young people with high functioning autism and Asperger’s Syndrome, language & communication difficulties, and specific language difficulties aged 7 to 19 years. 

We are looking for two dynamic, flexible and enthusiastic Speech and Language Therapists to join our multi-disciplinary team and work seamlessly with our education staff.  These roles involve providing integrated SaLT services to young people in our school based over two sites which includes a specialist 6th Form provision. We are located in North London and our main site is conveniently situated directly opposite Woodside Park station on the Northern line.  Our Sixth Form Centre is located in Finchley Central. We work closely with the other schools in our group, have extensive community links and believe in ‘thinking differently’ and being as creative as possible in our teaching. 

You will be committed to providing the best opportunities for our students and ensuring every child 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.  

Closing date: Monday 19th February 2018

Interviews will be held at The Holmewood School Woodside Park site on Monday 26th February
