The BHFT CYPIT service is an integrated Children's Therapy service, shaped around the needs of the child and family. We are structured within integrated teams, based around a locality area of Berkshire, and work closely together where appropriate, to ensure we have the greatest therapeutic impact, working either directly or through other people.

3. Deliver a high standard of speech and language therapy care to children and young people, including those with complex needs. This could be in various settings, including clinics, early years settings, homes, mainstream schools, and special schools. You will demonstrate high-level problem-solving, reasoning skills, and independence of judgment, using evidence-based and person-centered principles.
4. Contribute to our integrated model of service delivery and the development of integrated working.
5. Ensure effective outcome measures and evidence-based feedback are provided to evaluate therapeutic input.
