• Work collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals to support children’s communication development.
• Provide training and advice to parents, carers, and education staff to enable ongoing support for children’s language and communication needs.
• Maintain accurate clinical records and reports in line with professional and organisational standards.
• Participate in multidisciplinary meetings and contribute to care planning and reviews.

To be considered for this role, you must have:
• A recognised degree in Speech and Language Therapy (or equivalent).
• HCPC registration and membership with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
