We're not just offering you a job; we're inviting you to take a leading role in shaping how our services look, feel, and flourish.


As a senior leader within our multidisciplinary Integrated Therapy Team, you’ll have a real voice, the chance to influence strategic decisions and how our services evolve over the coming years. You’ll lead with passion and purpose, ensuring the OT and SaLT provisions reflect the highest standards of care and innovation. This isn’t just about managing a service and team – it’s about creating the best possible support.


You’ll oversee line management and clinical supervision of a talented team of therapists across our education and care sites, you’ll be a mentor, guiding and empowering less experienced therapists as they grow and flourish in their careers. We know that excellence comes from blending strategic vision with hands-on expertise. That’s why 40% of your time will be dedicated to clinical work.


This isn’t just an opportunity to join a team; it’s an invitation to lead, innovate, and inspire. You’ll shape the direction of our OT and SaLT services, making decisions that influence lives and shapes futures, helping our children and young adults receive the outstanding care they deserve.


A day in the life of a Senior Clinical Lead will involve:

  • Directly lead and support the strategic and operational delivery of Speech & Language Therapy (SALT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) services across our education and care settings.
  • Manage a caseload of children and young adults with diverse speech, language, and communication needs, delivering assessments, therapy, and specialist interventions.
  • Design, monitor, and implement high-quality, evidence-based therapeutic training to therapists and team members across Phoenix, ensuring a Neurodiversity Affirming and trauma-informed approach.
  • Provide supervision, training, and development opportunities for junior therapists and assistants, fostering a supportive and effective team environment.
  • Work with the Therapies Director to expand and enhance the SALT/OT provision, contributing to recruitment, resource management, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
  • Ensuring compliance with professional standards, confidentiality, and safeguarding protocols, while promoting health and safety, maintaining accurate clinical records and driving service development initiatives.


To be a successful Senior Clinical Lead, you’ll need:

  • A recognised post-graduate qualification in Speech and Language Therapy along with HCPC Registration.
  • Ideally, 5+ years of post-qualification experience as Speech and Language Therapist, with at least 1 years’ experience in supervising or managing a team.
  • The desire and confidence to run supervisions and offer training and support to other therapy professionals.
  • Good IT skills – We’ll train you on how to use our systems, but it would help if you had a working understanding of using Microsoft packages like Excel, Word, Outlook and Teams.
  • A full driving licence. Whilst this role is based in a single location, travel to other sites will be required at times including travel to our Tiverton Hub for team meetings and training where required.


If you have experience working within the NHS, the best way for us to describe the level of experience needed for this role would be to consider a “Band 8a” position.


In return for your time, you’ll get:

  • Holidays – You’ll get 33 days annual leave, including public holidays. You’ll also get an extra day off on your birthday after being with us for a year
  • Pension scheme– Our pension scheme is based on you paying in 5%, and us adding 3%.
  • Learning & Development Opportunities – We provide comprehensive learning opportunities for team members to develop themselves.
  • Discounts – You’ll have access to brilliant discounts through the Blue Light Card and our own employee benefits platform.
  • Wellbeing Support – Your wellbeing is always our priority. You’ll have access to mental health and wellbeing support. On top of this, our therapies team offers a monthly confidential check in clinic, and group reflective practice sessions.
  • Cycle2Work -The cycle to work scheme enables you to buy a bicycle at a discounted rate.
  • DBS – As this role required you to have an enhanced DBS carried out, we will cover this cost.
  • After 12 months service - You’ll also be eligible for our Medicash scheme which covers a wide range of medical, health and wellbeing expenses (Including immediate access to a GP). You’ll get life assurance paid at x2 your annual salary.


Please note that as part of our safer recruitment processes, successful applicants will be subject to pre-employment checks including an enhanced disclosure and barring service (DBS) check, and online and social media checks, and reference validation.
