- Develop and deliver individualised therapy plans, in collaboration with educational and clinical colleagues.
- Provide both direct and indirect therapy, including staff training and support to embed communication strategies across the school day.
- Work closely with parents/carers and contribute to EHCP reviews and multi-disciplinary team meetings.
- Maintain clear and accurate clinical documentation, following best practice and safeguarding protocols.
Qualifications and Experience
To be considered for this role, you will need:
- A recognised degree in Speech and Language Therapy (or equivalent).
- Current HCPC registration and eligibility for RCSLT membership.
- Previous experience working in SEN school settings, ideally with a focus on ASC.
