We’re growing our team at Words First and are looking for passionate Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Therapists to join us in schools across London.
At Words First, therapists are part of a genuinely collaborative interdisciplinary community where clinical excellence, mentorship, and relationships matter. Our therapists work closely with schools, families, and each other to create practical, impactful support for children and young people with SEND.
We work across a range of education settings including mainstream schools, specialist provisions, ARPs, SEMH settings, and post-16 environments.
What we offer:
• A warm, supportive team culture
• Structured induction and mentoring
• Regular CPD and Clinical Excellence Events
• Opportunities to develop specialist interests
• Interdisciplinary working with OTs, SaLTs, EPs, Play Therapists and Counsellors
• Visa sponsorship available for eligible candidates
• Opportunities available for therapists with school-based or paediatric experience
We are looking for therapists who:
• Are HCPC registered (or in process)
• Are passionate about supporting children and young people in education settings
• Value collaboration, curiosity, and neurodivergent-affirming practice
• Want to be part of a team that prioritises both clinical excellence and community
If you would like to join a team where you can continue to grow, feel supported, and do the work you trained for, we would love to hear from you.
