The focus of the whole school approach is in three core areas: education, independence and inclusion. Based on these core areas we provide individual, person-centred programmes which recognise individual abilities and strengths and help students to reach their full potential. Main duties and expectations: You will receive and respond promptly to referrals undertaking initial assessments to establish the scope, level and nature of the individual young person's therapeutic and mental health needs. You will lead and facilitate group and/or individual therapy sessions, short and long-term, ensuring interventions continue to meet the needs of the YP and are consistent with the provisions detailed in their therapy plan. You will manage, monitor and review an assigned caseload, ensuring delivery within the agreed timescales. Ability to work independently and with previous experience of working with young people with ASD, preferably within an education setting, is essential.
