Job Description

Speech and Language Therapy Assistant - Full Time (Term Time only)

Based in Bradford area

We have an fantastic opportunity for a

Speech and Language Therapy Assistant

to join our team here at

LINGO.

We are looking for someone thoughtful, motivated and ready to make a difference to children's lives.

About LINGO

We're an independent family business who have a shared commitment: supporting children to communicate to the best of their ability. At LINGO, we support children with speech, language and communication needs through direct therapy, school-based interventions, training and consultancy. Our team of therapists work with schools - from early years through to secondary - though also work with parents and wider professionals.

We believe in building strong relationships and use practical, evidence-based approaches to enable positive outcomes. We offer consultancy to Trusts, schools and settings, deliver training courses and conferences and are working nationally with charities and universities on various projects and research across the country.

We are a small, highly motivated team who are passionate about the importance of communication and developing these crucial skills in the children and young people we work with. We're proud of the impact we make, and we're now looking to grow our team with someone who shares our ethos.

About the Role

As a Speech and Language Therapy Assistant, you'll be working across a group of schools in the

Bradford area

, supporting children with a range of speech and language needs. You'll be guided by a qualified therapist and supported with training throughout, so prior experience isn't essential -- what matters most is your attitude and willingness to learn.

Your main responsibilities will include:

Working directly with children, often in small groups or one-to-one. Supporting the delivery of tailored speech and language therapy plans. Modelling programmes of support to school staff where appropriate. Assisting with preparation of therapy materials and resources. Keeping clear records of sessions and pupil progress. Liaising with school staff and feeding back on pupil support. Attending supervision and training as part of your development.
You'll be working across multiple schools, so travel will be a regular part of the role.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is:

Genuinely interested in helping children develop their communication skills. Well-organised and confident working independently in school settings. A good communicator, able to build positive relationships with staff and pupils. Flexible, reliable and willing to adapt to different environments. Reflective and open to learning - this role offers plenty of support and development.
This role might suit someone from an education or care background (such as a teaching assistant or early years practitioner), or a graduate in a relevant subject looking to gain experience in speech and language therapy.

A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is essential, as you'll be travelling between schools.

What we offer

We know that to do your best work, you need to feel supported, valued, and part of a team. Here's what you can expect as part of LINGO:

Regular Team Days:

We meet in the office for a day each fortnight to connect, share ideas and focus on professional development.

Hybrid Working:

When you're not in schools, there's flexibility to work from home to complete admin tasks.

Ongoing Development:

We actively support learning and will help you access courses, resources or training.

Supportive Team Environment:

You'll be part of a small, close-knit team with a wide range of experience - we're collaborative, approachable and always happy to help.

Term-Time Working:

Enjoy school holidays off, or we can be flexible and additional working days across the year could be an option.

Competitive Package:

Our pay and maternity offer is in line with NHS Band 3 and we have a work based pension scheme - we regularly review how we can make things better for our team.
