Help transform the lives of young people with dyslexia.

Are you an experienced Speech and Language Therapist looking for a role where your expertise will make a genuine, measurable difference every day?

At Frewen College, one of the UK's longest-established specialist schools for pupils with dyslexia and co-occurring Specific Learning Difficulties, you'll join an exceptional multidisciplinary team dedicated to helping every student achieve their full potential.

Last year's Year 11 cohort saw more than 50% of students achieve up to two GCSE grades above their baseline predictions—a reflection of the collaborative, evidence-based support at the heart of everything we do.

Why Frewen College?

This is much more than a school-based Speech and Language Therapy role. You'll become part of a highly collaborative environment where therapists, teachers and specialist staff work together to deliver outstanding outcomes for young people. Therapy isn't delivered in isolation—it's embedded throughout school life, helping students develop the confidence, communication and literacy skills they need to flourish both inside and outside the classroom.

Professional development is also central to our culture. We actively support continuing professional development and encourage our therapists to develop specialist expertise while contributing to the school's ambitious long-term vision.

What You'll Love About Working Here

● Join a supportive multidisciplinary team where collaboration comes first.
● Protected planning and administration time built into every therapy session.
● Deliver a varied caseload through one-to-one therapy, group work and classroom support.
● Excellent opportunities for CPD and professional growth.
● Help shape whole-school practice through training, study skills and collaborative working.
● Beautiful countryside location with easy access to Rye, Hastings and London.
● Generous school holiday allowance supporting an excellent work-life balance.
● Free lunches, refreshments and snacks during term time.

The Role:

Working across Years 7 to Sixth Form, you'll assess, diagnose and support pupils with dyslexia and co-occurring speech, language and communication needs, helping them access learning and reach their full potential.

You'll be responsible for:

● Delivering evidence-based one-to-one and group therapy.
● Completing speech, language and communication assessments.
● Supporting classroom strategies and inclusive learning.
● Contributing to EHCPs, annual reviews and therapy reports.
● Supporting ISO-informed systems of practice through robust
documentation and planning.
● Working closely with parents, teachers and external professionals.
● Delivering staff training and sharing best practice.
● Supporting the school's growing outreach and advisory services.

You'll Thrive If You...

We're looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, working collaboratively and making a lasting impact on young people's lives.

You'll ideally have:

● HCPC registration as a Speech and Language Therapist.
● Experience supporting children and young people.
● Experience working within education or multidisciplinary settings.
● Excellent communication and organisational skills.
● A proactive, compassionate and solution-focused approach.
Experience supporting pupils with dyslexia or Specific Learning Difficulties
(SpLD) would be advantageous, but we're equally interested in therapists who
are passionate about developing specialist expertise in this area.

Build a Career, Not Just Take a Job

As Frewen College continues to expand its specialist services, you'll have opportunities to develop your expertise beyond direct therapy, including outreach work, training, multidisciplinary collaboration and whole-school development.

If you're looking for a role where you'll influence practice, grow professionally and see the impact of your work every single day, we'd love to hear from you.
