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 two of their stories.
“Helping more families, without restrictions”
"The flexibility of setting my own hours and seeing as many clients as I want has allowed me to offer my skills to families who aren’t getting the support they need from local services.
It’s been a good experience so far, and I’m excited to continue growing my private caseload with Saltroad."

“No hassle or stress finding clients”
Saltroad has been the perfect platform to help me get started in private practice taking all the stress out of growing my practice.
As an NQP, Saltroad provided a mentor who supports me on a regular basis.
The platform offers a fantastic balance of independence and support, connecting me with clients that match my skills and experience.

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.
Join Saltroad →Saltroad already places therapists in 98% of South East England's locations and we're actively recruiting in nearly all of them. Find your location above, or join to be paired with referrals in your area.
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.
The top 3 conditions referred in South East England over the last 6 months have been Language Delay / Disorder, Speech and Social Communication. See the full breakdown above, or ask our onboarding team once you join.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
