The Adult Autism Service is looking for a motivated and enthusiastic part time Band 6 Specialist Nurse, Occupational Therapist, or Speech and Language Therapist to work alongside our Lead Assessors for diagnostic and assessment service for adults who are believed to need an assessment for autism.

The post holder will have responsibility for the assessment and the gathering and co-ordinating of information in order to inform whether a person has a diagnosis of Autism, what traits are relevant to them and how they can best manage their future.

The post holder will also be required to use their skills and expertise to educate, advise and consult with the wider workforce and different agencies, to improve services for autistic people using various platforms of communication.

Whilst the official base for this post will be at Eastway, there will be opportunities for hybrid working with some face to face assessments and follow up appointments taking place in Macclesfield at our local Autism Hub. There will be a requirement to deliver workshops across the CWP footprint (Wirral, Cheshire West and Cheshire East).

Interviews for this post will be held in Macclesfield.

Cheshire and Wirral Partnership (CWP) provides health and care services for a population of over one million people, including mental health, learning disability, community physical health and all-age disability care, as well as the provision of three GP surgeries in Cheshire.

We employ around 4,500 staff across 73 sites and have services across Wirral and Cheshire, as well as Trafford, Warrington, Bolton, Halton, Liverpool and Stockport.

Our aim is to help improve the lives of everyone in our communities, adopting a compassionate, person-centred approach to everything we do. We are rated as Outstanding for Caring by the Care Quality Commission, with a Good rating overall.

As a Disability Confident Employer, Rainbow Badge Scheme member, Veteran Aware organisation and proud holder of the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award, CWP is committed to making our recruitment practices as inclusive as possible and developing a culture that values differences, and welcome applications from people who have direct experience of accessing our services.

All new starters will commence in post on one fixed start date each month, in line with our Prepare to Care (P2C) induction programme date. P2C offers up to 3 weeks training to support you to meet the induction / initial training requirements of the role.

Whether you are just starting out in your career or looking to use your existing skills and experience in a new role, you’ll find something to suit you at CWP.

At CWP, our recruitment selection processes are based on both competence (see person specification for details) and values.

CWP recruits people that can demonstrate the Trust’s Values in their everyday life and we use a values-based approach in our interviews, which explores not only what you do but how and why you do it.

Please inform the team if you have any special support needs to be considered as part of the interview and selection processes.
