About the Role
Are you looking to develop your career as a children's Speech and Language Therapist, perhaps looking to develop your experience working across preschool and mainstream school settings?
Are you looking to work as part of a supportive team in a flexible working environment?
You will be joining the Children’s Integrated Therapy (CIT) team at an exciting juncture as we implement a new service structure and therapy model. This vacancy is in Oxford City and we’re looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic, and highly motivated therapist to join our team.
The role is advertised as a varied full-time position, however, we welcome applications for part-time positions. The sessions are largely in preschool settings and mainstream schools, although there may be opportunities to work partly in resource bases for children with autism. Please indicate on your application form whether you are interested in a full-time or part-time position.
Please be advised this is a permanent contract.
Responsibilities
Working alongside experienced colleagues, you would support band 5 and band 4 colleagues. You would support children on our core clinical pathways (Speech Sound Disorders, Language Difficulties, Social Communication) with the opportunity to do some work with our fluency specialist on the Stammering pathway.
The SLT team is made up of Band 5 and 6 Therapists, Technical Assistants, Apprentices, and both Specialist Team Leads and Specialist Clinical Leads (Band 7). We provide Speech and Language Therapy for children and young people aged 0 - 19 years across Oxfordshire in a range of settings. The Service delivery model is based on six Clinical Pathways and underpinned by the current evidence base.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
You will have opportunities to work alongside other members of the CIT team – Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, and CIT Assistant Practitioners, as well as collaborating with the wider MDT in Education, Health, and Social Services. We also have close links with SLTs at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, where specialist services such as the Regional Cleft Palate and Cochlear Implant services are based.
You will have your own caseload to manage and prioritize, delivering timely assessment and intervention packages, contributing to the SEND process, engaging in clinical meetings, and delivering training to staff and parents.
