Are you looking to join a welcoming school community where communication is central, strong relationships with pupils are built over time, and your specialist skills can make a lasting impact?

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Speech and Language Therapist to join our established SaLT team at The St Marylebone CE Bridge School. This is a unique opportunity to support a caseload across specialist and mainstream settings, delivering impactful therapy in schools where communication is embedded throughout the curriculum. You’ll enjoy clinical autonomy, strong supervision, generous CPD opportunities, and the chance to work closely with education staff to embed strategies across school life.

About the Schools

The St Marylebone CE Bridge School is a co-educational Special Free School for students aged 11–16 with EHCPs for Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN). We are proud of our diverse community and welcome staff and students from all backgrounds, faiths, and none.

Our students have diverse communication profiles, including developmental language disorder (DLD), social communication differences, and language disorders associated with other conditions. Many also benefit from therapeutic support for social, emotional and mental health development alongside their communication needs.

Our structured, nurturing environment supports both academic achievement and life skills, preparing students for successful, independent futures.

Our therapy team also provides outreach to The St Marylebone CE School, an outstanding mainstream secondary school known for creativity, high academic standards and a strong inclusive ethos.

About the team

You will join a close-knit, reflective, and pupil-centred team where clinical autonomy, collaboration and shared professional growth are central. Our Speech and Language Therapists work alongside Occupational Therapists, Wellbeing and Behaviour Specialists, and teaching staff to embed communication strategies across the curriculum, while retaining clear clinical identity and autonomy over their caseloads and intervention planning.

Our Lead SaLT is part of the Senior Leadership Team, ensuring that communication development is a central focus across the school’s planning and practice. We offer structured supervision, peer support, and regular opportunities for professional development and service innovation. Therapists are employed on a full-time basis with paid school holidays.

About the Role

We are seeking a confident and experienced therapist who can exercise clinical autonomy, build strong relationships with pupils, and work collaboratively with education staff to embed communication strategies across school environments.

The role offers the opportunity to manage an independent caseload across specialist and mainstream settings, delivering specialist assessment, intervention and review for students with a range of speech, language and communication needs.

Collaborative working is at the heart of our approach, with therapists coaching and modelling communication strategies to education staff, and contributing actively to wider whole-school communication development.

There will also be opportunities to contribute to service development initiatives, supervise students or junior colleagues, and help to continue building a truly integrated, communication-rich environment for all pupils.
