Assistant Practitioner

Two opportunities have arisen in the Integrated Autism Service within Powys Teaching Health Board.

This is an exciting, busy and challenging time and we are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Assistant Practitioner to work within the team.

The post holder will work with the integrated multi-disciplinary team, to develop and deliver support interventions, and also facilitate some group programmes.

The post holder will be expected to develop and implement designated portfolios under the supervision of the clinicians within the team.

The post holder will need to be competent using technology and will be expected to engage with people over the telephone and via video conferencing as well as face to face session

Experience of working with adults who have autism is highly desirable, as is experience of facilitating groups and teaching. A willingness to work with the rest of the team to develop innovative approaches to help this group is essential.

The post requires attention to detail, enthusiasm, flexibility and resilience to work with a developing forward-thinking service. The ability to communicate effectively and build rapport and effective relationships at all levels is essential. The post holder will ideally have worked in a Partnership arena previously as well as the community.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
