• Undertake assessment, diagnosis, and management of communication needs for students aged 16–18 with ASD or related profiles.
• Deliver targeted interventions including 1:1 therapy, programmes, reports, and recommendations in line with school requirements.
• Work collaboratively with teaching staff and wider multidisciplinary professionals to ensure cohesive support for each pupil.
• Maintain accurate, professional clinical documentation and communicate effectively with staff and families.
• Contribute to ongoing development of communication strategies within the school environment.
Qualifications and Experience
To be considered for this role, you must have:
• A recognised degree in Speech and Language Therapy (or equivalent).
• HCPC registration and eligibility for membership of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
• Experience working with children and young people with ASD and high-functioning profiles.
• Strong assessment, clinical reasoning, and communication skills.
• The ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with school teams.
