Who we are

Future Academies is one of the country’s leading academy trusts; it was established with the intention of improving the life chances of children through an education that is built on the importance of knowledge, teachers who are experts in their subject, and an unwavering focus on raising aspirations for all. We are looking for a committed and enthusiastic speech and language therapist to work with children with speech, language and communication needs within primary and secondary mainstream school settings. The successful candidate must also have experience delivering speech and language therapy to children with autism.

Our family of nine schools has built a reputation of achieving the highest standards for all our pupils. We are an inclusive community where all children are welcomed and challenged to be the very best they can be. Our schools are immensely exciting educational environments and have a warm and friendly ethos. Our ideal candidate will have a passion for working in education and improving outcomes for young people.

We are aiming to recruit someone who will work across 4 of our schools, located in London and Hertfordshire. Candidates looking for part-time work will also be considered.

Who we are looking for

Future Academies is looking for a Speech and Language Therapist to work across four of its 9 schools. We see this role as key to supporting the broad range of needs present in our schools and forming a vital part of our offer for children with speech, language and communication needs and/or autism spectrum conditions.

In many of our schools, the Speech and Language Therapist role is well-established, allowing a newly appointed therapist to quickly have an impact for key children and across the school.

We are keen to appoint someone who understands the importance of excellent teaching for children with SEND and the value of having a speech and language therapist developing this teaching practice further. The appointed therapist will be able to work directly with children on assessment and intervention, while also supporting teaching and support staff colleagues to deliver associated interventions. Work with teaching colleagues will also ensure that the vast majority of children with Developmental Language Disorder (and students with associated difficulties) will be able to succeed within an inclusive classroom environment. The appointed therapist will work closely with the Head of SEND for the Multi-Academy Trust, as well as with the SENDCO in each of the schools.

The successful candidate will be:

• Experienced, successfully working with children with speech, language and communication needs and autism, to improve their outcomes and attainment.
• HCPC and RCSLT registered.

• Fast career progression. Because knowledge and intelligence, rather than length of service, are lauded and rewarded at Future Academies, teachers can quickly take up great responsibility, adding to their already exceptional experience and knowledge, joining the SLT or writing for the Trust’s Curriculum Centre, where our in-house textbooks are produced.
• Excellent CPD. The Trust is knowledge-centric and encourages CPD at all levels with excellent opportunities for swift career progression, within the Academy and Trust. This includes Leadership Development opportunities.
• Knowledge-rich staff team. You will be working with a supportive leadership team, cohesive staff body, and very purposeful environment with excellent resources. Being part of a Trust of schools enables you to share knowledge across a wider range of educational professionals.
• State of the art building. The cutting-edge facilities offered by our £25 million building mean that both students and members of staff work and learn in an environment that inspires creativity and achievement, and creates an array of avenues for success through learning.

Additional benefits

• Perkbox. Access to our employee benefits platform where you can access over 200 different Perks.

We look forward to receiving your application.

This is an exciting time in our diocese, with the launch of the vision of Transforming Church, Transforming Lives in 2016 leading to significant new missional energy in many of our churches, chaplaincies and schools. It’s been especially encouraging to witness the development of around 80 new worshipping communities since the launch, including four major projects in areas of new housing.

Over the past two years we have moved our diocesan teams into new, attractive, open-plan offices on the University of Surrey Research Park; and more recently we have embarked on a major review of the services we offer, seeking to ensure that our diocesan strategy gets well embedded, that our resources are efficiently managed, and that Church House Guildford is genuinely scratching where the parishes are itching. Note that due to the covid pandemic, our teams are currently working remotely from the safety of their homes.

We are looking for a proven practitioner and skilled technical and digital professional who can help us shape, plan and deliver the migration of our processes, systems and information to web-based services. In doing so you will help us to further streamline and improve our workflows at Church House whilst also making it easier for our parishes to access information.

We want someone with the right mix of experiences who can challenge, inspire and deliver in this area of specialism, but also a colleague who shares the passion and heart to reach and serve communities in this place.

The role is for 14 hours per week on a fixed term contract for 12 months. Our salaries are competitive within the charity sector with a generous non-contributory pension provision. Due to the Covid pandemic, we are currently able to work remotely from the safety of our own homes.

If you have the experience we are looking for and a passion to join us in our journey, we welcome an application from you. Your application should consist of a completed application form and supporting statement (no more than two sides of A4) detailing your reasons for applying, what you can bring to the post and how you meet its requirements. The closing date for receipt of applications is midnight on Sunday 12 July 2020.

We look forward to hearing from you!
