Job Description

We are working with a leading Further Education College Group and assisting them in recruiting a Speech and Language Therapist, based in Kingston.

The College Therapy Department embraces neurodiversity affirming, strength-based approach, rather than an impairment-based and medical model approach.

You will understand the impact of communication difficulties on a person s function and behaviour and support learners teaching teams, to transfer skills developed at the college to the learners home environment and community / work settings.
