We serve the South-East London Borough of Lewisham, as part of the Community Health Service for Children, Young People and Families (CCYP) rated at 'Outstanding' in our last CQC inspection.

We have a whole service approach which means that as a therapist on the school's pathway, you will have strong links and access to the support of therapists working in special schools, Early Years and Complex Needs & Feeding.

We offer a comprehensive and structured induction to all our new starters followed by regular, high quality clinical supervision. You will also be allocated a 'schools team buddy' to support your transition into the team.

Our people are our greatest asset.

When we feel supported and happy at work, this positivity reaches those very people we are here for, the patients.

Engaged employees perform at their best and our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) initiatives contribute to cultivate a culture of engagement.

We have four staff networks, a corporate EDI Team and a suite of programmes and events which aim to insert the 5 aspirations:

Improving representation at senior levels of staff with disabilities, from black, Asian, and ethnic minorities background, identify as LGBTQ+ and women, through improved recruitment and leadership development
Widening access (anchor institution) and employability
Improving the experience of staff with disability
Improving the EDI literacy and confidence of trust staff through training and development
Making equalities mainstream
