An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 5 Children’s Speech and Language Therapist to join our Children’s Therapy team in Lincolnshire.
We are passionate about delivering high quality, evidence-based care. Partnership working is key to our work and we strongly believe that empowering parents/carers and professionals to support children's speech, language and communication needs is invaluable in effecting change.
As a team, we would describe ourselves as; caring, supportive, friendly, dedicated and innovative.
We are a values-based employer and firmly believe that employing the right person to join our team is paramount and once in the team, we can foster and nurture your clinical skills and knowledge through a range of peer support, CPD and shadowing/training opportunities.
Both posts involve working with children aged 0-19 with a wide variety of speech, language and communication difficulties in Family Hubs and schools.
Within these roles, you will have opportunities to:
- Assess and diagnose children with speech/language/communication needs
- Plan and deliver therapy
- Empower parents/carers and professionals to support children with SLCN
You can also expect to receive weekly dedicated CPD time alongside the rest of the speech and language therapy team.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Compassionate leadership is a core value of LCHS and our team and we are looking for individuals who are; compassionate, caring, open, honest, passionate, resilient and resourceful.
Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust is in the top 25 per cent of all community trusts for overall staff engagement in the 2021 NHS National Staff Survey.
At LCHS, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in LCHS’ workforce.
LCHS recognises the increasing demand for more flexibility in working practices in order to accommodate the personal goals and commitments that employees experience at different stages during their working lives. Flexible working opportunities such as part-time working, compressed hours, job shares, and hybrid working models can help staff to balance their personal and work commitments. Arrangements can be put in place if it can be shown that the needs of the individual can be balanced with those of the service and the impact on other team members, enabling the Trust to recruit and retain skilled staff, raise staff morale, reduce absenteeism and respond to changing service needs more effectively.
