We are offering an exciting opportunity for people to come and be a part of our Specialist Autism Team, where we help those with a potential imminent hospital admission, under the Mental Health Act and help to try and support that work in the community first.To date, we have worked with those who are anxious and struggling with the demands being placed on them in their communities, whilst considering their diagnosis .

Our team is dedicated, compassionate and caring to those who are referred to us and we are now in the position to expand the team and recruit a Senior Clinical Psychologist, to work alongside two Principal Clinical Psychologists, our Assistant Psychologist, the Trainees we support and me.
