About the Team
The Surrey SLT service is a large team (over 160) of both qualified therapists and non-qualified therapy assistants working in mainstream and specialist provisions through primary, secondary and colleges, with some opportunities for a preschool caseload (deafness and complex specialist schools).
We have excellent supervision and CPD models plus a rolling in-house training programme; we are committed to continuous learning and development. We champion our team and one of our Therapists was voted People's Choice in the Surrey Stars Awards receiving over 500 votes showing just how well the service is regarded in the organisation
We are a forward thinking service and were involved with the RCSLT and Reading University around the dysphagia competences linked to student placements.
The Speech and Language Therapy Service is part of Surrey County Council's local offer to support the special educational needs and disabilities of children and young people within mainstream schools and specialist provision. This Service is part of the Inclusion & Additional Needs Team in Surrey's Children, Families and Lifelong Learning Directorate, and as such works collaboratively with other teams such as Educational Psychology, Specialist Teachers and SEN teams.
We aim 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 support children with SLCN. We offer universal, targeted and specialist support for children, families, and the school workforce; working with children and young people with EHCPs and those at SEN support following Surrey's Graduated Response. We also have a specialist dysphagia service and specialist deaf service.
The Specialist Service for deaf children
A team of Specialist SLTs provide an innovative Surrey wide service for school-aged deaf children and young people in mainstream schools and 5 Specialist Resource Bases. The team is also commissioned to support preschool deaf children who meet criteria. The Specialist SLTs work in close collaboration with Advisory Teachers of the Deaf and a team of peripatetic Specialist Teaching Assistants, a Deaf Instructor, an Educational Audiologist and BSL Interpreters.
We have locally defined specialist competencies in relation to deafness with in-house clinical supervision, team meetings and shadowing to share knowledge and expertise of working in this field. Team members are encouraged to be part of service wide initiatives and to contribute to ongoing research and publications. Recent examples include:
Therapists specialising in deafness belong to the wider Surrey SLT Service and work alongside SLTs and SLT Assistants from other disciplines enabling the development and sharing of clinical skills.
About the Role
Your main duties in the role of Specialist Speech and Language Therapist will include:
You will work in partnership with other colleagues to ensure a holistic and child centred approach to identifying and meeting children and young people's needs.
