Speech and Language Therapist Assistants

Speech and Language Therapist Assistants Salary: £32,578 to £35,570 per annum

Contract Type: Permanent

Hours/working pattern: Full time

• Salary: £32,578 to £35,570 per annum

Grade: H

Contract: Permanent  

Hours: 37 per week

Location: Northallerton, North Yorkshire.

Note - Positions are available in Northallerton, Selby, Scarborough and Harrogate*

We have excellent opportunities for people who enjoy working with children and young people and want to make a genuine difference in their everyday lives. If you're someone who enjoys building strong working relationships and is ready for a new challenge, this role could be for you.

About the service

Our Speech and Language Therapy team sits within North Yorkshire's SEND and Inclusion services. The work is varied, hands‑on, and rooted in real‑world impact. You'll find us involved in:

• Targeted mainstream provisions, helping schools spot needs early and build confidence in supporting them
• Personalised learning colleges, where young people with more complex needs are preparing for adulthood
• No Wrong Door, supporting young people who may have experienced trauma or instability
• Youth justice services, where communication needs are often hidden but hugely significant
• Statutory EHCP work, contributing to provision that sits above and beyond the NHS offer

A big part of what we do is embedded work - working directly alongside teachers, TAs, SENCOs and other staff, helping them understand communication needs and build strategies into everyday routines. It's practical, collaborative support that makes a real difference to how children are understood and included.

What sets our service apart is the mix of settings, the flexibility in how we work, and the belief that everyone in the team brings something valuable. You'll be supported, but you'll also have space to grow and shape your role.

About the role

As a Speech and Language Therapy Assistant, you'll work closely with therapists, schools, families, and other professionals. You'll be part of a friendly, supportive team who will help you develop your skills and confidence.

In this role, you will:

• Work directly with children and young people in schools, colleges, and community settings
• Support therapists with assessments, intervention plans, and resources
• Help staff in schools embed communication‑friendly approaches into everyday practice
• Work in settings where communication needs can be complex with support from the wider team
• Build strong relationships with education colleagues and become a trusted link for your local area
• Develop your understanding of a wide range of communication needs, from speech sounds to social communication to SEMH‑linked needs

We're looking for people who:

• Enjoy working with children and young people
• Are comfortable with variety and challenge
• Can think independently and adapt to different situations
• Are reflective, open‑minded, and keen to learn
• Want to be part of a team that's growing and changing

If you're currently working in a school, early years setting, youth work, care, or you're simply looking for a new direction where you can make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
