Specialist Nurse/Occupational Therapist/SALT
Chester, England, United Kingdom Part-time Posted 1 week ago
The Adult Autism Service is looking for a motivated and enthusiastic part time Band 6 Specialist Nurse, Occupational Therapist, or Speech and Language Therapist to work alongside our Lead Assessors for diagnostic and assessment service for adults who are believed to need an assessment for autism.
The post holder will have responsibility for the assessment and the gathering and co-ordinating of information in order to inform whether a person has a diagnosis of Autism, what traits are relevant to them and how they can best manage their future.
The post holder will also be required to use their skills and expertise to educate, advise and consult with the wider workforce and different agencies, to improve services for autistic people using various platforms of communication.
Whilst the official base for this post will be at Eastway, there will be opportunities for hybrid working with some face to face assessments and follow up appointments taking place in Macclesfield at our local Autism Hub. There will be a requirement to deliver workshops across the CWP footprint (Wirral, Cheshire West and Cheshire East).
Interviews for this post will be held in Macclesfield.
