Speech and Language Therapist
Experienced Band 5 / 6
North London
£39,781 to £45,953 pro rata, DOE
Part time role: 1 day a week initially. Potential to progress to full time.
Are you a Band 5 or aspiring Band 6 SaLT, with experience of providing speech and language therapy for children? Perhaps you’re working one or two days a week for the NHS, or in private practice, and are keen to extend your hours? Or maybe you’re looking for a gradual return to work after a career break? If you’d like to join an innovative therapy team and enjoy flexibility, career progression and a competitive salary, we may have the ideal opportunity for you. To start in September.
Your opportunity
Initially, you’d join us for one day a week, working in a well-run mainstream primary school in North London. There may also be an opportunity to expand the role, adding another day a week in a nearby school. Ultimately, we hope to extend this further to offer a full-time position, if this is something you’d be keen to do.
At ACCESS, we build careers around our therapists’ interests, aspirations and life commitments. There’s never an obligation to increase your number of working days, but there are often opportunities to do so, as well as to work in different educational settings, and to carry out autism and ADHD assessments, as part of our growing independent service.
What we offer
You’ll benefit from a personalised career development path that includes one-to-one supervision, regular reviews, high quality training, and opportunities for progression within your role. You’ll also get as much support and autonomy in your day-to-day work as you need.
Competitive, NHS-benchmarked salary (plus full payment during school holidays).
Structured induction programme, including observation and shadowing opportunities.
Regular clinical supervision and mentoring.
Access to a range of resources and standardised assessments.
Support and encouragement to provide child-centred, evidence-based intervention, working with clients in a range of settings.
Opportunities to attend training courses to support your continuing professional development.
The opportunity to learn and practice an innovative approach to speech and language therapy in schools.
Potential to join our autism and ADHD assessment team, with ADOS-2 training.
Pension scheme.
Who we’re looking for
A Band 5/aspiring Band 6 Speech and Language Therapist with experience of working with children with diverse communication challenges. Ideally, you’ll also have worked in a school before. You should be unflappable, highly adaptable, and a great communicator. A driving licence, and access to a car, is preferable, but not essential.
Who we are
At ACCESS Speech and Language Therapy, we specialise in connecting language with literacy and social skills, working with schools to help children achieve better outcomes, across the curriculum and in their future lives. It’s a proven approach, with measurable results, that we deliver in a flexible way to suit a school’s particular requirements. We also provide private SaLT assessments and intervention, as well as an independent autism and ADHD assessment service for children and adults.
“Working at ACCESS has helped me grow so much as a practitioner.”
