We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate individual to join our long-standing and experienced therapeutic team as a Speech and Language Therapist.
As a Speech and Language Therapist, you will play a vital part in delivering person-centred support through our Meaningful Life Model – an inclusive approach that ensures each individual has a voice and is actively involved in their education, care and support.
At Kisimul Group, we aim to provide high-quality care, education and vocational opportunities for neurodivergent young people and adults with learning disabilities, often with a diagnosis of Autism. Our services include specialist education, residential care and supported living.

We do this within a therapeutic community that places each person’s needs, aspirations and outcomes at the centre of everything we do. Allowing us to provide holistic care and lifelong learning in a nurturing, supportive environment that fosters personal growth and development.
About The Role

Your input will play a vital role in preparing individuals for adulthood and enabling them to engage meaningfully in their communities.
The service will offer a universal, targeted and specialist support which includes carrying out assessments of individuals’ communication needs, working closely with the individual, their family, educators and carers to ensure a holistic understanding. Based on this, you will formulate personalised intervention plans and actively support individuals in achieving their goals. Collaboration is vital in this role - working closely with colleagues, families, carers, and stakeholders to promote the wellbeing and best interests of the people we support.
