Join us as a Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist in our exciting SEND Therapy Service in West Essex.
We are looking for a Children’s Speech and Language Therapist to work with early years and school-aged children in their educational settings and their home, as part of our Special Educational Needs (SEND) Therapies team.
You will have the opportunity to work hybrid between visits to local schools and completing virtual sessions from home on a full or part-time basis. The role has core hours during school times (with occasional out of hours for meetings with school staff or parents) with the option to complete your additional hours flexibly.
As you will be visiting local schools as part of your role, a driving license and access to a vehicle is essential.
The bulk of core clinical delivery will take place within school hours and education term dates; however, service needs are not exclusively term-time only, with clinical and administrative work for school holiday periods to be discussed and agreed with the SEND Therapies Manager. The post holder may be required to support the Community Therapy service, if appropriate.
Caseload will be agreed with the SEND Therapies manager, with time allocated for clinical delivery, training, travel, CPD, meetings, and supervision, appropriate to the role and geographical team.
