About The Role
We are seeking an enthusiastic, creative, and motivated Paediatric Occupational Therapist/SALT/Ed Psych to join our expanding multi-disciplinary team and working in our Epsom Clinical Hub in a hybrid school and outpatient clinic setting.
As a Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist, you will play a vital role in unlocking children and young people's potential by assessing their needs and providing specialised interventions in school based and clinic-based settings. This is achieved by working collaboratively with parents, carers, multidisciplinary and teaching teams across our hub school and clinic setting to ensure that interventions are effectively ?integrated into the young person's daily life. A key function is equipping key adults in that young person's life with the skills to confidently support them in achieving their therapy goals using evidence based delivery models.
In your role as a Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist, you will conduct comprehensive assessments of a child or young person's various developmental or learning needs with standardised and non-standardised assessment tools alongside developing and implementing individualised intervention plans and collaborating with teachers, parents, and other professionals to integrate these goals into the child or young person's daily environment. The role also involves evaluating intervention effectiveness, providing training and upskilling to key adults, and maintaining accurate documentation. The therapist will actively participate in multidisciplinary meetings to ensure coordinated care for children and young people with complex needs.
You will hold an independent caseload within the outpatient clinic site alongside dedicated work days in the conjoined SEND school setting working collaboratively with the on site therapy team and teaching staff to deliver therapy provision within the learning environment.
