Speech And Language Therapist

A leading special education provider for London and the South East is now looking for an Speech and Language Therapist to join the team, supporting autistic and learning-disabled young people studying at one of their London education centres.

Established in 2013, the trust has since grown to provide holistic education services to over 1500 young people experiencing intrinsic barriers to learning including profound and multiple learning disabilities, sensory differences, SLCN, and complex medical histories. Each education centre offers its students a personalised approach, intensive support, and integrated therapies for a comprehensive learning experience – championing respect, establishing strong foundations, and initiating access to life-changing opportunities – that brings out their full potential.
