Job summary

We welcome the diversity that different disciplines bring to our team and we are excited to welcome a candidate that is passionate about neurodiversity and accompanying young people and families along the assessment journey.

The ASC pathway is in the early stages of development, meaning we are looking to recruit someone with experience and confidence in leading a team and implementing initiatives. The post holder would support the Neuro Constellation Lead in allocation, waiting list initiatives, management of risk and providing regular team supervision. They will also take the lead on complex assessments - for example where there are multiple alternative formulations.

About us

The ASC Pathway is multi-agency, receiving input from Speech and Language Therapy, Paediatricians, and Inclusion Support. We adopt a Key Worker model, where each young person is allocated to a single worker, who is responsible for gathering relevant information. Key workers on the ASC Pathway will reach out to additional diverse professionals/services, including Mental Health, Occupational Therapy, Social Care and Schools.

Our team values the input of different professionals and aims to offer families a comprehensive and holistic assessment.
