Join our welcoming school community, where communication is central and strong working relationships with pupils and staff are part of everyday school life.

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Speech and Language Therapist to join our SaLT team at The St Marylebone CE Bridge School. This is a unique opportunity to work within a specialist secondary setting, delivering high-quality Speech and Language Therapy as part of the wider school team. You will work closely with education staff, contribute to whole-school communication development, and be supported through supervision and ongoing CPD.

About the School

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), Autism, and language impairments 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.

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

This is a varied and rewarding role within our specialist secondary setting, supporting students with a wide range of speech, language and communication needs. You will deliver assessment and intervention, while also working alongside teaching staff to embed communication strategies across the curriculum.

Collaborative working is central to our approach. Therapists model clear, accessible communication, support shared problem-solving, and bring a calm, consistent presence to the school day.

There will also be opportunities to contribute to service development and wider team initiatives, with scope to take on additional responsibility as experience and confidence grow.

• Paid school holidays
