Shiremoor, North Tyneside, United Kingdom Northumbria Healthcare - NHCT Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Full time
Assistant Speech and Language Therapist

In this exciting role, you will work with children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities to support the development of independence skills. You will be part of a collaborative team working alongside Speech and Language Therapy and Occupational Therapy teams within Special schools in North Tyneside.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to create opportunities within the classroom and school day for children to develop independence in communication and activities of daily living. This involves seizing and creating opportunities for children to develop independence in their use of alternative and augmentative communication (both low and high technology) and in activities of daily living (mealtimes, dressing, self-care, etc.).

You will work closely alongside education staff to foster and maintain a supportive environment to allow children to practice skills with support to achieve independence. The role also involves making and maintaining therapy resources and contributing to assessment and monitoring of progress through observation.

The salary for this position is approximately £28,000-£35,000 per annum, depending on experience. As an employee of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, you will benefit from a range of staff benefits including a pension scheme and opportunities for professional development.

This role requires strong communication and interpersonal skills, as well as the ability to work independently and as part of a team. A degree in Speech and Language Therapy or a related field is desirable, but not essential. If you are passionate about supporting children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding role.
