Speech & Language Therapist – Band 7 (or strong Band 6 ready to step up) North London | Full time | Flexible working January start or sooner Inspiring those who support children with the highest communication needs is work filled with passion and purpose. You might already be thriving at Band 7. Or you might be a strong Band 6 who knows you’re ready for the step up. You are organised, relationship-driven, and comfortable coaching school staff. Supporting autistic pupils using AAC/early communication approaches is part of your every day, as is a calm, problem-solving mindset. We are looking for a skilled Speech & Language Therapist to join a forward-thinking education-based service in North London. Someone who believes that impact comes from empowering others: modelling great practice in classrooms, building staff confidence, and creating environments where every child is understood. The Role: This role is varied. You’ll spend around three days a week in schools delivering training, consultation and modelling. You’ll keep a small, focused caseload for EHCP provision. You’ll supervise therapy assistants and contribute to a developing service. There will be exposure to tribunal work.

You’ll be part of a reflective, supportive multi-disciplinary team that champions neurodiversity-affirming practice and meaningful CPD. If you want a role with purpose, one that scales your expertise through whole-school change as well as direct work, we’d love to talk!
