Job summary:
As an integral and highly valued member of the Adult Autism Diagnostic Service, the Peer Support Worker (PSW) will provide formalised peer support and assistance to service users in particular pre
- and post-diagnostic support. The successful applicant will work within a multidisciplinary team in an Adult Autism Diagnostic Service to deliver pre
- and post-diagnostic support to autistic adults (age 18+) across the London boroughs of Brent, Harrow and Hillingdon.
The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users.
As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
The peer support worker role uses lived experience to improve outcomes for other autistic adults through direct support (through group and individual interventions) and indirectly via providing lived experience support to staff across the trust.
There is a growing consensus that people's health is greatly influenced by a range of social, economic and environmental factors.
This role will take these social determinants of health into account in providing support to service users.
The PSW will promote their role, through the provision of information and a range of learning opportunities for the multidisciplinary team and others across the trust.
The PSW will work alongside service users on a 1:1 basis and there may be some opportunities for group work as the post gets established.
The PSW will also have the opportunity to co-work with other colleagues.About Us

We're proud of our diversity and we continue to undertake new initiatives to advance equality for LGBT+, BME and people with disabilities to promote good relations and understanding between our staff.
We are recognised locally, nationally and internationally for providing high quality, innovative healthcare.We aim to employ only the best people, and our experts are frequently called upon to contribute to national health strategy and policy, and many models of our care have been adapted for use in other countries.
Job Description:
Key Responsibilities
Central and North West London NHS Trust is committed to providing safe, effective services and providing those who use the services; and those who support them, with a positive experience.
- To work autonomously alongside other professionals within the Autism Team in the support of service users, with a particular focus on providing support in the waiting period before diagnosis and signposting them to other support services after the diagnostic assessment.

- To assume a 'coaching' role supporting service users, delivered with a neuroaffirmative approach either individually or in groups.
- To act as a role model to service users to inspire hope, and share life experiences and lessons learned from own lived experience of autism.
- To contribute to the assessment, planning, implementation and review of care with the Autism Team.
- To positively promote and support independent living for service users in the community by maintaining extensive knowledge and links with community resources and actively supporting service users to access them e.g. in relation to employment, specialised support, community living and leisure. This will assist service users to identify their strengths, personal interests and goals.
- To participate in group activities and community groups alongside service users and sometimes team members.
- To meet, welcome, introduce and orientate the service user, their carer and families to the service.
