Those Huge Small Victories

Our clinicians are fulfilled by the idea of affecting even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things. Check out this video on what life as a Speech & Language Therapist at Witherslack Group is like!

Get out what you put in

This role is based at The Gables Learning Centre, on a part-time basis. We will also consider applications for anyone looking for term-time roles.

Located in the Midlands, The Gables Learning Centre allows us to provide sector-leading standards of education, therapeutic support, and care for small groups of young people, all on one site. This approach mirrors that of a traditional children’s home and school relationship, but considers the additional support required by young people with significant special educational needs. The young people will live in a children’s home located on-site. These purpose-built homes provide an extremely high-quality living experience for young people.

Our clinicians are a crucial part of the most joined-up model in SEND. Across all of our specialist schools and children’s homes, we provide unrivalled levels of clinical support, both in terms of our expertise and breadth of provision. Our young people present with a complexity of need including developmental trauma, neuro-developmental conditions, and special educational needs.

As part of a multi-disciplinary clinical team, you will be supporting educational and residential colleagues to provide therapeutic living and learning environments and, based on clinical assessment and formulation, offer individualized interventions and engagement to our young people. You’ll also be assessing our young people’s mental health and recommending appropriate interventions in a personalized care plan. Building rapport is key; by doing this, you’ll be able to deliver effective counseling and feedback on progress.

4. Flexible benefits: meaning you can increase/decrease benefits such as life insurance
5. Wellbeing: a host of wellbeing tools and advice including employee assistance
6. Medical cover so you can claim back the cost of things like an optician or dentist appointment and a host of high-street discounts
7. Beautiful working environments with the very best facilities
8. A recommend a friend scheme that offers a £2,000 bonus every time

Bring your whole self to work

This is a great opportunity to change young lives and have a positive impact on their future. Embedded within our living and learning environments, you will be offered the support, resource, and platform for you to do great things. You’ll benefit from supervision, a clinical development programme, and access to a 220+ strong team of multi-disciplinary clinical colleagues who will be with you every step of the way. Here’s a few things we’ll need from you:

1. Be a qualified Speech and Language Therapist registered with the HCPC
