About the Role
We're looking for an ambitious, experienced Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist to join our Community Paediatric team, delivering specialist assessment and diagnostic intervention for children with complex speech, language and communication needs across Lambeth and Southwark.
Working in our SALT Schools & Adolescent Communication Team, you'll work across education, early years and community settings to help build an integrated universal, targeted and specialist offer, strengthening early identification, developing workforce capability, and supporting inclusive practice for children and young people with speech, language and communication needs.
You'll lead within your specialist area (Early Years Neuro-Disability, Deaf Communication, Stammering & Cluttering, Autism, or Schools/FE/YOS), providing expert advice to colleagues, shaping service and policy development, and mentoring SLTs and assistants.
Combining clinical expertise with consultation, coaching, supervision, service improvement and system leadership, you'll support Expert at Hand practitioners and the wider SLT workforce to embed new ways of working, while maintaining a small targeted-plus and specialist caseload for children with more complex needs.
