Speech and Language Therapy Assistant
We are looking to recruit a Speech and Language Therapy Assistant to support children and young people with speech, language and communication needs across community settings. Working under the supervision of qualified Speech and Language Therapists, you will help deliver therapy programmes, support assessments, prepare resources, and work directly with children, families, nurseries and schools to encourage progress and engagement.
This is a varied and rewarding role that includes working with children individually and in groups, visiting schools and early years settings, and supporting families to understand and use speech and language strategies at home and in everyday activities. You will also contribute to record-keeping and administrative tasks that support safe and effective care. The post is community-based and involves lone working, with appropriate training and support provided.

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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
In this role, you’ll play a vital part in helping children and young people develop their speech, language and communication skills. Working alongside qualified Speech and Language Therapists, you’ll support therapy sessions, deliver planned activities with individual children and groups, and help bring therapy programmes to life in homes, nurseries and schools. You’ll build positive relationships with children and families, demonstrate practical strategies they can use every day, and help ensure therapy continues beyond the clinic. You’ll also prepare resources, keep clear and accurate records, and work confidently in community settings, knowing you’re supported through training, supervision and a strong team around you.
Working in our Children’s Community Speech and Language Therapy team means being part of a supportive, friendly and dedicated service that is committed to improving outcomes for children and young people. You will work alongside experienced therapists and assistants who value teamwork, learning and shared problem-solving, with access to regular supervision, training and development opportunities.
