Are you a qualified Speech and Language Therapist who wants to use your clinical expertise to make a real difference for young people with autism, learning disabilities and other additional needs? Do you want to work within a genuinely multidisciplinary inclusion team in a college environment where your professional input is valued at every level? If so, we would love to hear from you.
