About the Role
We are seeking an experienced and motivated Speech and Language Therapist to join our dedicated team at HMP Wormwood Scrubs. This is an exciting opportunity to take a leading role in shaping and developing speech and language therapy services within a dynamic and supportive multidisciplinary environment.
As the Band 7 SLT, you will lead the delivery of the speech and language therapy service across the prison, while providing clinical leadership and supervision to an established Band 6 Speech and Language Therapist. You will work directly with individuals who have communication needs, carrying out specialist assessments and interventions that can have a profound impact on their wellbeing, engagement, and rehabilitation.
This role offers a unique opportunity to drive innovation and service development. You will play a pivotal role in creating accessible information and services across the prison and will lead the ongoing development of the Neurodevelopmental Pathway, helping to ensure that individuals with neurodevelopmental differences receive appropriate and effective support.

You will work closely with a highly skilled multidisciplinary team of clinical and operational colleagues, contributing to a truly person-centred approach to care.
