We are looking for an empathic, creative and skilled band 6 speech and language therapist with relevant experience working with Autistic children and young people to join our team based at Sutherland House School in Nottingham. We can offer you multi-disciplinary and integrated service models of practice in a highly regarded and skilled team, CPD, and regular supervision.
