Specialist Autism Practitioner
NHS Jobs London
You will work as an integral member of the Team and contribute to specialist autism assessments and post-diagnostic support of service-users referred to the service, using appropriate data from a variety of sources. This will include the use of specialist assessment tools (e.g., ADOS-2, ADI-R etc.), clinical observations and interviews where appropriate.
You will hold responsibility for a designated caseload (with support/steer from the Lead Clinical Psychologist). The post holder will be expected to work with individuals in a way that maximises their participation (and ease) in the assessment process.
In addition, you will actively liaise with partners, families, friends, including health and care professionals in order to provide a person centred assessment process. You will help to plan, support and facilitate time limited post diagnostic work with service users who have undergone an autism diagnostic assessment with the service and received a confirmed ASD diagnosis.
This would include groups and workshops, individual or family/support network support where appropriate. Your work will lead to practical formulations and recommendations to the service user and other professionals, such as GPs/health and care professionals about intervention options for service users on discharge from the service.
