Are you currently working in a school Speech and Language Therapy team and looking for a change or progression?
Are you a Speech and Language Therapist with HCPC registration but requiring sponsorship to work in the UK?
Do you have experience in Paediatric Speech and Language Therapy and looking for a role in which to specialise working with children?
Are you a confident and motivated Band 5 or an emerging Band 6 Speech and Language Therapist who would like to work within schools in either a part-time or full-time capacity?
Are you looking for an opportunity to work around your family life, or are you keen to build new skills in SEND, such as SI (Sensory Integration)?
Parker Smith Inclusion is currently partnered with many Essex-based special schools looking to expand their Therapy offer. The schools’ Speech and Language Teams we work with are across Essex and have opportunities to cover part-time, full-time, locum, or permanent. The opportunities are flexible enough to work with you, and working in schools offers a great work-life balance.
The roles will vary depending on the type of setting. We work with Multidisciplinary/ Speech and Language Therapy teams in various settings: Mainstream schools with ARP (Additionally Resourced Provisions), SEND schools for ASD, MLD, SLD, PMLD, SLCN, SEMH and trauma-informed schools.
During school closures, some of our schools lost locum staff in their Speech and Language Therapy teams, so a number of our schools are looking to offer permanent contracts to SaLTs looking for security in school-based work.
Opportunities include:
- Newly qualified Speech and Language Therapist (Band 5 equivalent)
- Experienced Speech and Language Therapist (Band 6 equivalent)
- Lead Speech and Language Therapist (Band 7/8 equivalent)
- Sponsorship available for HCPC registered therapists (or in process)
