The Service

The school-aged SLT service is part of Surrey's local SEND offer, working collaboratively with the Inclusion and Additional Needs Team and other areas like Educational Psychology and Specialist Teaching.

Our aim is to
deliver the right support at the right time, through assessment and intervention; equipping families and professionals with the skills and resources to work together to help support children with SLCN.

We follow a tiered model, supporting universal, targeted and specialist intervention for children, families and the school workforce; working with children and young people with EHCPs (Education, Health & Care Plans) and those at SEN (Special Education Needs) support following Surrey's Graduated Response.

The Role
The role of Speech and Language Therapist is varied, and no two days will be the same, however you can expect to be involved with the following:

Clinical decision making in conjunction with school staff and evidence-based practice, around the level of support needed to achieve the best possible outcome for the children on your defined caseload
Working with SLT Assistants, setting targets for the children and young people you are jointly supporting, and monitoring the delivery and outcomes of their work
Assessment, advice and intervention for children with a range of speech, language and communication needs within your caseload

At Surrey, our values and behaviours are just as important as our skills and abilities. They shape who we are as an organisation. Find out more about the values we follow.
