• Work with children aged 5–16, many with EHCPs and a range of communication difficulties.
• Deliver therapy sessions in clinic settings and local schools.
• Develop and implement individualised therapy plans tailored to each child’s needs.
• Liaise with families, teaching staff, and other professionals to support holistic care.
• Maintain accurate clinical records in line with professional and organisational standards.

• A recognised degree in Speech and Language Therapy (or equivalent).
• HCPC registration and eligibility for membership of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
• Experience or strong interest in paediatric speech and language therapy.
• Experience working with children with EHCPs (desirable).
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (preferred due to school visits).
