- Contribute to the development of strategies to support emotional regulation, social communication, and independence.
- Support learners in developing functional communication skills for daily living, including community access and work placements.
- Work collaboratively with education staff and external partners to support successful outcomes, including workplace communication needs.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date clinical documentation.
Qualifications and Experience

- A recognised degree in Speech and Language Therapy (or equivalent).
- HCPC registration and membership (or eligibility) with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
- Experience working with young people or adults with a range of communication needs, including ASC and DLD.
