The Service

The Northumberland Autism Support Service is currently made up of 6 qualified teachers who provide a range of advice, support and training for schools and settings throughout Northumberland.

The role

The Autism Support Service is a peripatetic team working with school staff and multi-disciplinary professionals to assess the needs of learners (predominantly between the ages of 3 and 16 years old) with Autism/social communication needs and subsequently support the school or setting in the implementation and evaluation of appropriate strategies and approaches to meet identified needs. We place a strong emphasis on building capacity within schools through a process of consultation, modelling and training.

The Autism Support Workers work under the direction of Specialist Teacher for Autism to upskill staff in schools and settings to meet the needs of children and young people with Autism or social communication needs.

The key duties of the role are:

- modelling the use of evidence-based strategies, approaches and intervention programmes in settings and schools across Northumberland.
- Working directly with designated pupils in settings either individually or in small groups, dependent on the level of complex needs.
- Assisting pupils in developing an insight into their diagnosis through the identification of their strengths and differences.
- Liaising as necessary with all staff involved with designated pupils, offering advice and strategies to develop and maintain consistent approaches to enable the successful inclusion of children and young people with ASD/Social Communication needs in schools and settings.
- Contributing to the development of Individual Support Plans through the identification of appropriate outcomes and providing strategies and resources related to the delivery of the plan.
- Being responsible for the planning and delivery of programmes of work to develop social communication skills, language skills and social/emotional skills.
- Maintaining agreed service records.
- Liaison with parents/carers
