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 two of their stories.

★★★★★

“It freed me up to focus entirely on what I do best, delivering therapy.”

"Before I found Saltroad, I was spending too much of my time on admin tasks — marketing, advertising, invoicing — things that kept me from focusing on my clients. Saltroad solved all of that for me. They handle the marketing and administrative work, which has freed me up to focus entirely on what I do best: delivering speech therapy. The platform's flexibility has allowed me to grow my private practice around my existing commitments, and it's made the whole process so much easier."

“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."

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 Wales?

Are there speech and language therapy jobs in Cardiff?

Yes. 7 Saltroad therapists have joined recently and are already working speech and language therapy jobs in Cardiff. It's free to join.

Is Saltroad a speech therapy recruitment agency in Wales?

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 Wales?

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

Is there demand for bilingual speech and language therapists in Wales?

Yes. Bilingualism is one of the top 3 conditions families in Wales have been referred for over the last 6 months, so therapists who are confident working with bilingual children and families are in real demand. If you speak more than one language, mention it in your profile and on your onboarding call, so we can pair you with the right referrals.

Can I work with Saltroad fully remotely in Wales?

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 Wales?

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 Wales?

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 Wales?

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 Wales?

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:
