Do you have a passion for working with children and young people (CYP) with learning disabilities and an interest in working with Autistic CYP? Would you love to join The Bexley Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) Team, winners of the Children and Young People's Directorate Team of the Year award 2021?

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated therapist with experience and interest in working with CYP with speech, language and communication needs, ASD and learning disabilities to deliver a high-quality clinical service within our special schools. We have opportunities to provide 1 year of maternity cover in both Woodside Academy and Cleeve Meadow School. Woodside Academy is a special school for Autistic children and young people (CYP) aged 4 to 19. The CYP also have moderate learning needs. Cleeve Meadow School is special free school which provides highly specialised education for 120 students between 11 and 19 years old, who have moderate learning difficulties with associated additional needs including autism, speech, language and communication difficulties, associated social and emotional difficulties and sensory impairments.

Having strong links between the therapists and therapy assistants working across the various Special Schools allows us to share best practice to maintain a high-quality service and provides continuous opportunities for learning and professional development for all team members.

As a Specialist SLT within a special school setting you will support the delivery of the mission, vision and core priorities of the schools. You will provide assessment, advice and care planning. You will be supported to provide training to school staff and colleagues. Multi-disciplinary working with our health and education colleagues is integral to this role.

The Bexley Children’s Speech and Language Therapy service offers a range of services with specialist teams across EYs, ASD, Hearing Impairment, Dysfluency, Specialist Resourced Provisions and SEMH. We work closely across teams to provide clinical support and second opinions. You will also have access to administrative and managerial support. The robust Personal Development Review (PDR) process is a great opportunity to identify your training and development needs based on your own clinical interests.

Oxleas offers a wide range of NHS healthcare services to people in community and secure environment settings. Our services include community health care such as district nursing and speech and language therapy, care for people with learning disabilities and mental health care such as psychiatry, nursing and therapies. Our multidisciplinary teams look after people of all ages and we work in close partnership with other parts of the NHS, local councils and the voluntary sector and through our new provider collaboratives. Our 4,300 members of staff work in many different settings including hospitals, clinics, prisons, secure hospitals, children’s centres, schools and people’s homes.

We have over 125 sites in a variety of locations in the South of England. In London we operate within the Boroughs of Bexley, Bromley Greenwich and into Kent. We manage hospital sites including Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup and Memorial Hospital, Woolwich, as well as the Bracton Centre, our medium secure unit for people with mental health needs. We are the largest NHS provider of prison health services providing healthcare to prisons within Devon, Dorset, Bristol, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, Kent and South London. We are proud of the care we provide and our people.

Our purpose is to improve lives by providing the best possible care to our patients and their families. This is strengthened by our new values:

- We’re Kind
- We’re
- We Listen
- We Care
- To provide a specialist clinical SLT service to children and young people with speech, language and communication needs, including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ASD with Learning Disability (LD).

Cleeve Meadow School is special free school which provides highly specialised education for 120 students between 11 and 19 years old, who have moderate learning difficulties with associated additional needs including autism, speech, language and communication difficulties, associated social and emotional difficulties and sensory impairments.
- To be an integral member of the multidisciplinary team providing an integrated care pathway.
