Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) – Full-Time, Permanent (term time only) September Start – Dorking, Mole Valley Salary: £30,000 - £45,000 per annum For some children, communication is their biggest challenge. They have thoughts, ideas, and emotions to express, but the words don’t always come easily. As a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT), you have the power to change that.

You might be: Helping a non-verbal student find confidence with AAC or Makaton Supporting a young person in developing social communication skills Advising teachers on strategies to create a communication-friendly classroom Encouraging self-expression through storytelling, role play, or creative activities Your work won’t just help students in school—it will set them up with the skills they need for life. A Team That Supports You Therapists are often expected to work in isolation, but not here. You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team where teachers, support staff, and therapists work side by side to ensure students receive the best possible care. If you’re new to working in an education setting, don’t worry—the school provides SEND training and ongoing professional development, helping you adapt your skills to the school environment.
