Therapist Spotlight

Every Saltroad therapist is HCPC-registered and building a private caseload at their own pace and on their own terms. Most of them heard about us from another therapist. Some came looking for RCSLT jobs and found familiar names from their own professional circle already thriving here. It's word of mouth, from colleagues who know the profession, and here are some of their stories from London.

★★★★★

"Saltroad made it easy to take on clients at my own pace, and their support system has been really helpful. I've had my first sessions recently — so far it's been a very positive experience and I look forward to working with many more clients."

Not a Job. Not Solo. Something Better.

Saltroad combines the freedom and flexibility of going solo with the security, systems and support of being part of an established team.

We keep the best parts of employment and independent practice, and leave out the trade-offs.

You'll have on-demand access to a steady stream of referrals, choose the ones you like and want to work on, and decide how big or how small your caseload is.

Most importantly, we free you up from sales, marketing, admin and paperwork, so you can focus on what matters the most: providing the speech and language therapy support families need.

FAQs

Are there speech and language therapy jobs near me in London?

Saltroad already places therapists in 100% of London's boroughs and we're actively recruiting in nearly all of them. Find your borough above, or join to be paired with referrals in your area.

Is Saltroad a speech therapy recruitment agency in London?

No. Saltroad isn't an agency or a directory. We're the UK's largest speech therapy provider. You remain an independent practitioner, in control of your own pricing, availability and which referrals you take on, while we handle the admin, payments and marketing and put a team and community behind you. It's free to join and there are no up front fees with Saltroad: we only take a percentage on sessions you actually deliver, so we only earn when you do, and you have total control over your pricing. Try our speech therapist earnings calculator to model your possible earnings.

What types of cases are most common in London?

The top 3 conditions referred in London over the last 6 months have been Language Delay / Disorder, Social Communication and Autism / ASC. See the full breakdown above, or ask our onboarding team once you join.

Can I work with Saltroad fully remotely in London?

Most families prefer in-person sessions, so fully remote caseloads are the exception. Depending on the client, you may alternate in-person and online sessions, particularly with some adult clients.

Do I need a DBS check to work with Saltroad in London?

It's not a blanket requirement. Each family decides whether they need a DBS check, and whether you hold a valid one shows on your profile. We'd still recommend keeping a valid enhanced DBS check: it opens you up to more referrals, and if it's on the Update Service we can verify it quickly.

How much could I earn doing private speech therapy alongside my NHS role in London?

Rates are up to you and vary by experience, specialism and location. See our pricing index for typical UK rates. Try our speech therapist earnings calculator to model your possible earnings.

What happens after I sign up as a speech therapist in London?

Once you fill out your profile, you'll book your dedicated free onboarding call with our team, covering more about Saltroad and any further questions, so you can start taking on referrals when ready.

Can I work privately alongside my NHS speech therapist job in London?

Saltroad is built to sit around your NHS role, not necessarily replace it: evenings, weekends, a handful of cases a month, entirely your call. Most NHS-employed therapists start small and build at their own pace, choosing conditions that motivate them. You can also exclude your own NHS patch from matching, so there's no overlap with your NHS caseload.

Are there speech and language therapy jobs in the rest of the UK?

Yes! Visit our dedicated pages:
