We are seeking a proactive, mobile Speech and Language Therapist (SALT) to deliver high-quality, clinical support across our established school trust in Lancashire.

Instead of being isolated in a single clinic, you will work directly within our diverse primary and secondary school communities, shaping communication-friendly environments and making a tangible difference where it matters most.

Because our trust spans multiple sites across the county, this role requires regular travel between schools, offering a dynamic work environment.

• Assess, diagnose, and deliver targeted intervention plans for pupils with a wide range of speech, language, and communication needs, including developmental language disorders, social communication difficulties, and ASC.
• Work closely with school SENCOs, senior leadership, and teachers to integrate communication strategies into the everyday curriculum and IEPs.
• Design and deliver workshops and training sessions for school staff to build internal capacity and trauma-informed communication practices.
• Travel efficiently between designated trust academies across Lancashire to provide consistent, equitable service delivery.
• Complete robust clinical notes, write comprehensive statutory reports for EHCP reviews, and maintain HCPC-compliant documentation.

• A degree in Speech and Language Therapy and current registration with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) and membership with the RCSLT.
• Proven experience managing an independent paediatric caseload, ideally within mainstream school settings or specialist educational provisions.
• The ability to work independently across multiple sites, manage your own diary effectively, and build strong relationships with diverse school teams.
• A full UK driving license and access to your own reliable vehicle.

• Competitive salary framework tied to experience, plus a comprehensive mileage allowance for all work-related travel.
• Work-time flexibility: term-time working options or standard generous holiday allowance aligned with local authority standards.
• Trust network support: work within a centralised, multi disciplinary inclusion team alongside educational psychologists, therapists, and SEND experts.
• Dedicated CPD: funding and time allocated for external clinical courses, clinical supervision, and professional development.
