Maritime has an exciting opportunity for a Speech and Language Therapist.

We are looking for a vibrant and energetic individual who wants to make a difference to the lives of the pupils attending Maritime schools. We are looking for someone who is confident, resilient, and approachable and a good communicator as they will be required to work with pupils, staff, parents/carers and outside agencies.

The successful candidate will work across 4 mainstream primary schools (Timbercroft, Millennium, Ebbsfleet Green and Greenacres) within the Trust and will be responsible for managing their own caseload. They will be responsible for joint work with teaching staff, the upskilling and training of support staff, implementing classroom based interventions and support strategies, as well as assessment, diagnosis and intervention for individual children.

As an education charity, we are fully committed to advancing education for the public benefit. It is our mission to empower our schools with the means to drive ever greater and more enjoyable outcomes for children.

We do this by seeking out the intersection between logic and magic; between the knowledge children need, the skills that will enable them to navigate a future world of work that doesn't exist yet, and a journey through education that will stick with them as they grow.

Regular supervision will be provided by our highly experienced Lead Speech and Language Therapist and in addition there will be CDP opportunities.

• A positive, friendly and happy working environment
