Summary
Are you a band 7 clinician who is looking for a new challenge?
Do you have a wealth of knowledge about autism and wanting to improve the experience of the diagnostic processes for young people?
If so, this may be the role for you.
We are really pleased to be offering an exciting new opportunity to a band 7 clinician who has an in-depth understanding of autism, developing ability to work autonomously and an interest in service development. The Autism Assessment Pathway (AAP) accepts referrals for young people living in Bedfordshire and Luton who are over the age of 13. Our aim is to develop a service that effective, innovative and supportive to the young people and families that it serves. If you would like to join us at this pivotal time, we would very much like to hear from you.
The successful post-holder will directly contribute to the positive working environment within the multi-disciplinary team.
The Autism Assessment Pathway is held within the CAMHS Neurodevelopmental team (NDT) who offer assessments and creative interventions to children and young people who have Autism and/or intellectual disabilities. The NDT is part of Bedfordshire CAMHS which is a large, dynamic and successful CAMHs service comprising of 3 emotional and behavioural teams, a LAC team, a CAMHs schools team, a parent-infant psychotherapy team, a paediatric team, a GP team, an adolescent mental health team, a crisis team and an eating disorders service. We also have embedded workers in Early Help, CDC and social care. We offer regular opportunities for staff to undertake individualised CPD, and we provide opportunities for staff wishing to ‘act up’ into more senior roles on occasion.
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
