3 months ago


Bedford, United Kingdom East London NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced senior clinician to join our specialist Autism Assessment Pathway (AAP) team based in Bedford. We are looking for professionals who are committed to improving the experience of the diagnostic process for young people. To enable you to do this, you will need an in-depth understanding of the core features of autism and how these may impact on an individual’s life, with significant professional experience of working within this field. It is also hoped that you will have experience in completing standardized ASD assessments using ADOS, 3DI or ADI-R.

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.

Bedfordshire CAMHs has a thriving service-user participation group which meets regularly to consider service development initiatives. The successful applicant would have the opportunity to join in a number of quality improvement (QI) projects which can lead to innovations within the Service.

Our clinics are readily accessible from North London or Milton Keynes and Northampton (Bedford). ELFT offers attractive recruitment packages and we are committed to offering our staff the opportunity to develop their skills.
