Highly Specialist Speech & Language Therapist

Lighthouse School in Leeds is a completely unique secondary school. In fact, we are the first of our kind in the country – a specialist free school. We focus on a ‘destination-led’ approach for our students who all have a diagnosis of autism (ASC).  

Our journey so far has been amazing and we are immensely proud of what our students have achieved. We are a ‘Good’ school with aspirations to be ‘Outstanding’ in the near future. 

Lighthouse School is dedicated to maintaining its fantastic reputation of providing an individualised education. We provide a flexible learning environment which reflects the bespoke needs of each and every one of our students. 

We are committed to inspiring and enabling our students, delivering meaningful skills for life in a holistic, nurturing, and stimulating learning environment. This is achieved through exceptional teaching, unwavering support, outstanding work experience, positive interactions, and role models. We repeatedly instil good behaviours in order to encourage resilience, independence, confidence, and wellbeing in all of our students.

By holding the highest of ambitions for our students (even if they cannot see it for themselves), we shine a light on their potential to lead the brightest of futures.

• Are you devoted to making a difference to lives of students with ASC?

• Are you innovative in your approach to learning and delivery?

• Do you like to work in a unique and versatile environment?

This is an exciting position to work across the whole school community to deliver an outstanding experience for the students and all involved with the school.
