This exciting post will provide a varied opportunity for assessment and intervention for children with a range of communication needs referred into the service. Opportunities to deliver training and workshops to parents and professionals will also be integral to this post. As part of Ealing Services for Children with Additional Needs (ESCAN) the posts will also involve regular collaborative working with other professionals.

You will be part of a forward thinking department that provides a range of services and is always striving to be innovative and put research into practice to improve patient outcomes: Developing our team members in their career path is the corner-stone of this. This will be an ideal opportunity for a therapist looking to develop their skills in paediatric speech and language therapy who also has values that align with those of our organisation and is passionate about making a difference to children and young people.

The needs of the communities we serve can change, requiring the service to evolve and develop. In light of this, the duties required in this role may also change in line with the service and therefore the successful candidate needs to be flexible to accommodate this.
