Job Responsibilities

Your role in the team will be pivotal to the development of a more patient-focused approach as you will review all the information families have given us. This includes a family's report on what difficulties and strengths their child has, a form about inattention, teacher reports, and a child's own perception of their difficulties and strengths. Using this information, you will start formulating the report with clinician support and identify any other assessment needed such as a QB or ADOS; you will have the opportunity for some assessments to sit in within the clinician to support the family, clinician, and your own development.

You will have regular supervision both clinical and managerial and be employed by a trust that is committed to kindness and your development. You will join a multidisciplinary team consisting of psychologists, psychiatrists, speech and language therapists, occupational health practitioners, nurses, and social workers. It is an exciting time to join a friendly, dynamic, supportive team who is committed to developing themselves and the services to offer best outcomes for children and their families.
