Who We Are

We take a person centred, flexible approach to the care and support we provide.

We work towards excellence every day and our team members are committed to delivering the very best outcomes for the people we support.

Our dynamic and flexible service is tailored to the specific needs of the individual, making it easier to live, learn and be part of a world adapting to change.


Hedley's Horizons and provide adults with disabilities day opportunities and activities that promote the ethos of lifelong learning and the importance of wellbeing in adult life.

Hedley's Horizons is a busy, vibrant and varied environment that supports disabled adults with cerebral palsy, communication and sensory impairments and complex learning needs including those with Autism Spectrum Conditions.

We offer a choice of activities that meet peoples' aspirations, needs and preferences, thus offering a very individual programme with support from a highly skilled and dedicated staff team.


The Role


Following the appointment of a Head of therapy working across Horizons and College, we are now looking for an experienced Speech and language therapist to join the already established lead physiotherapy and occupational therapy colleagues.

The post holder will be expected to provide input to a caseload of people with complex speech, language and communication and dysphagia needs alongside leading and developing the service offer in line with best practice and evidence-based guidance.

Speech and Language Therapists within the Horizons and college multidisciplinary approach to service delivery play a vital role in optimising independence, lifelong learning and transferring this knowledge and skills into everyday life.

The passion shared by the team to help service users and students reach their personal aspirations and ambitions is the driving force of the Percy Hedley Foundation offer and underpins everything we do.

Providing more specialist services by supporting service users and their families with specialist interventions such as AAC, Intensive Interaction, Sensory Programmes enables this dream to become a reality.
