Job Opportunity: Band 6 Speech and Language Therapist
We are looking to recruit a Band 6 Speech and Language Therapist to join our friendly and supportive Early Years team in the Central Sussex locality on a full-time, fixed-term contract to provide maternity leave cover.
This is an excellent opportunity for a therapist looking to build on their Band 5 or Band 6 experience working with young children and their families within an Early Years service. You will work as part of a collaborative and supportive team, across a range of clinic bases within the Central Sussex area.
As part of our experienced team, you will receive regular clinical supervision, alongside access to well-established professional development opportunities.
Responsibilities
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
