About KT Healthcare
KT Healthcare is a family-owned healthcare provider specialising in neurodevelopmental assessment, SEND therapeutic services and complex care. We provide person-centred, evidence-based and neuroaffirming services across the UK.
We work closely with children, young people, families, schools, local authorities and multidisciplinary teams to provide high-quality therapeutic support that makes a meaningful difference to everyday life.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist to join our SEND Therapies team on an associate basis, supporting children and young people within school and wider community settings.
The role will involve providing a combination of direct therapy, assessment, consultation, AAC support, staff and parent training, and written recommendations, working collaboratively with the child, family, school and wider multidisciplinary team.
The successful therapist will be comfortable working with children who have complex communication and developmental needs, and will have experience supporting children with a range of speech, language, communication and feeding needs.
The role will initially involve monthly support visits, with the exact working pattern agreed between the therapist, school, family and young person. Further opportunities for work will become available as our therapy service continues to grow.
