Are you a passionate and qualified Speech and Language Therapist looking to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people? Join our dynamic and supportive team in North Yorkshire and help shape inclusive, impactful communication support across a wide range of educational and community settings.
About The Service
What makes our service different is the mix of settings, the flexibility in how we work, and the expectation that therapists can use their expertise creatively. We are focused on what will make the biggest difference for the child or young person in front of us.
We’re looking for Speech and Language Therapists who want to make a real difference across North Yorkshire. Our service is growing and changing as part of the wider SEND reforms, and we’re building something that feels practical, responsive, and child-centred. If you’re ready for a role where your professional judgement is trusted and your ideas help shape how we work, we’d be very happy to hear from you.
Our Speech and Language Therapy team sits within North Yorkshire Council’s SEND and Inclusion services. We work across a wide range of settings and pathways, and our remit is deliberately broad so that children and young people can access the right support at the right time.
You’ll Find Us Working In
- Targeted mainstream provisions where we support schools to meet needs early and effectively
- Personalised learning colleges, helping young people with learning and communication differences access meaningful education and preparation for adulthood
- No Wrong Door, where communication needs often sit alongside trauma, care experience, and social-emotional support needs
- Youth Justice Services, supporting young people whose communication needs are often hidden but having a significant impact
- Statutory work, contributing to EHCPs where provision sits above and beyond the NHS offer
