Job Title: Remote Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist
Banding: 6/7
Location: United Kingdom (primarily remote, with required in-person attendance for induction/equipment)
Start Date: Mid-April 2026
Salary: £24.00–£26.50 per hour
Working Hours: Full-time or Part-time (Tuesday–Thursday; fixed schedule)
Job Overview
We are seeking a skilled Speech and Language Therapist (SALT) to join a short-term, consultative role supporting virtual school-based meetings within Bedford Borough. This role is ideal for candidates with experience working with children and young people in mainstream school settings and confidence in providing advice within a consultative model.
While the majority of the role is delivered virtually, the post holder is required to attend in person at the start and end of the contract for induction and equipment collection/return. The working days are fixed and non-negotiable: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Key Responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Provide advice and support to school staff regarding Speech, Language, and Communication Needs (SLCN) in children and young people.
- Contribute to virtual school-based meetings and multidisciplinary discussions.
- Work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team.
- Maintain accurate records and documentation in line with professional standards.
- Deliver clear guidance to non-specialist staff in a consultative capacity.
Qualifications and Experience
To be considered for this role, you must have:
- A recognised degree in Speech and Language Therapy (or equivalent).
- HCPC registration.
- Experience working with children and young people with SLCN.
- Experience working in or with mainstream school settings.
- Experience working as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
- Strong communication skills, including the ability to provide clear advice to non-specialists.
- Availability to start mid-April 2026.
- Ability to attend in-person induction and equipment collection/return.
Note: Due to the consultative nature of this role, candidates without experience in school settings or delivering advice in a consultative model are unlikely to be shortlisted.
