About RTN Mental Health

At RTN Mental Health, we’re on a mission to transform the way neurodevelopmental and primary care mental health services are delivered across the UK. As a dynamic and rapidly expanding organisation, we combine clinical excellence with commercial innovation to deliver high-quality, person-centred care.

From NHS partnerships to private services, we’re redefining what accessible, ethical and effective mental health support can look like — and building clinical pathways that are robust, evidence-based and genuinely life-changing.

Our values sit at the heart of everything we do:

Respect at our core, transformation in our actions, nurture in our care.

The Role

We’re seeking a skilled and compassionate Speech and Language Therapist to join our multidisciplinary diagnostic team, providing specialist expertise in communication and social interaction as part of our Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessment pathway. This is a specialist clinical role within a fast-growing, values-led organisation. Working remotely, you’ll conduct detailed assessments of social communication, pragmatic language and interaction profiles, contributing directly to high-quality diagnostic decision-making within a multidisciplinary framework.

We welcome applications from both experienced clinicians and newly qualified Speech and Language Therapists who can demonstrate strong clinical reasoning, a commitment to neuroaffirmative practice and a genuine interest in neurodevelopmental assessment.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring our ASD diagnostic pathways remain robust, evidence-based and person-centred, with reports that clearly recognise both strengths and support needs. The role requires attention to detail, curiosity, and confidence in identifying subtle or masked presentations, supported by supervision and multidisciplinary collaboration.
