We at Magic Words Therapy pride ourselves on being a friendly, helpful and collaborative team of individuals who share a pioneering spirit and a dedication to being the best we can be for our clients. We want everyone who works with us to feel valued. Each person’s contribution to our team is both vital and unique and we want every individual to realise how important they are to the smooth and effective running of our service. Whether you are part time or full time, clinical or support staff, if you have 6 months experience or have been 20 years on the job, we value everybody equally. We could not provide the high quality of service that we pride ourselves on without the contribution of every single member of our team.

The benefits you can expect as an employed member of the Magic Words Therapy team:

• Paid annual leave and sick leave for every employee.

• Pension scheme.

• Flexible working including opportunities to work from home.

• 6 annual CPD days. Some big names in the speech and language therapy world run some of these. Amongst recent CPD days we have had Maggie Johnson on Selective Mutism, Alison Bryan on Colourful Semantics, PECS training, Attention Autism with Gina Davies, Bilingualism with Sunita Shah, Attachment Disorder with Melanie Cross.
