The Speech and Language Therapy Team at National Star
The Speech and Language Therapy team at National Star has a key role in ensuring that students gain the skills and confidence to communicate effectively as part of their journey towards living as independently as possible. How satisfying would it be to think that you had played a part in helping a young person with a disability to find their voice.
We’re looking for additional Speech and Language Therapy Assistant support in our Hereford and Worcester based colleges with 11 hours a week in Hereford and 21 hours a week in Worcester, both term time only. This can be one role covering both sites or split into two roles.
You will work alongside our experienced Speech and Language Therapists, supporting students to develop their skills so that they can express their opinions, make choices and communicate with family and friends.
We’re expecting you will have experience in working with people with a broad range of physical and learning disabilities, including Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, and Acquired Brain Injury. It may be that you already have experience of providing direct and indirect speech and language therapy support.
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.
A knowledge of Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC), Makaton and/or Intensive Interaction would help you to hit the ground running in this role. It goes without saying that you will also have excellent observational and communications skills and a creative and flexible approach to work.
Multi-disciplinary working is key to the success of our college so being a team player is a must-have attribute as you will find yourself working alongside our occupational therapy, physiotherapy, education, nursing and residential teams.
Your creativity will come to the fore as you support the Speech and Language Therapy team in producing personalised resources to support students’ progression and achievement, including programming AAC devices.
