Join a specialist school where communication is at the centre of everything.

Capella House School is a specialist setting for children and young people aged 4–16 with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN).

As part of The Auriga Academy Trust, we provide an integrated therapeutic and educational environment where Speech and Language Therapists play a central role in shaping learning, wellbeing and long-term outcomes.

We are looking for a motivated Speech and Language Therapist to join our established multidisciplinary team across our primary and secondary sites in Twickenham.

This is an exciting opportunity for either:

• an enthusiastic Band 5 or newly qualified SLT looking for strong clinical support and development, or
• a more experienced Band 6 clinician seeking a collaborative specialist environment with opportunities to shape practice and contribute to service development.

Why SLTs choose Capella House

At Capella House, therapy is fully embedded into school life. You will work closely with teachers, occupational therapists, psychologists and support staff to create highly communication-supportive learning environments tailored to each pupil’s needs.

You will have opportunities to:

• Manage a varied and rewarding caseload of children and young people with complex speech, language and communication needs
• Deliver direct and indirect therapy interventions
• Complete formal and informal assessments
• Contribute to EHCP reviews and multidisciplinary planning
• Support staff, families and the wider school community through training and collaborative working
• Help shape and develop a growing therapy service

Exceptional support for professional development

We are proud of our supportive therapy culture and strong commitment to clinical development.

You will receive:

• Regular clinical supervision
• Weekly CPD opportunities
• Peer support within an experienced SALT team
• Opportunities for joint working and shared learning across disciplines
• Structured support for newly qualified therapists
• Opportunities to develop specialist clinical interests and leadership skills

• Holds a recognised Speech and Language Therapy degree
• Is HCPC registered (or awaiting registration as a newly qualified therapist)
• Is enthusiastic, reflective and keen to develop clinically
