Could you make a difference in the developing world of Neurodivergence?
Are you a Qualified Health Care Professional who is passionate about supporting clinicians to understand autism through the lens of difference?
As our Mental Health Liaison Clinician, you'll work with Oxford Health and Oxfordshire County Council Services in both inpatient and community settings, to support the access for autistic adults into these services and pathways. Our aim is to minimise inappropriate or avoidable admissions, safely reduce length of admissions, and reduce the delay of discharges for autistic service users and ensure an equitable service to autistic people. We can consider both full and part time hours for this role and we operate a hybrid working model.
We'd love to hear from you if you're a registered Nurse in Learning Disability/Mental Health, a Clinical Psychologist or Social Worker, or an Allied Health Professional (Speech & Language Therapist or Occupational Therapist).
If you have an interest in advocating for autistic and neurodivergent people and enjoy being involved in coproduction to shape how services work and support autistic people, the Reasonable Adjustment Service is the place for you!
You'll work with the team to drive the development of new approaches to reasonable adjustments and move away from the medicalised view of Autism as a disorder and impairment and reframing this through the lens of difference.
As a dedicated individual joining our enthusiastic and compassionate team, you will be instrumental in implementing change so that autistic people and / or people with a Learning Disability can access services in a way that is productive and meaningful for them.
Applicants must have a full valid driving licence and have access to a vehicle for work. Adjustments can be considered in line with the Equality Act 2010 where required. The team are currently hybrid working from home and the office, and therefore it is imperative to have internet access at home to accommodate this. There may be set days and times where you will be expected to be in the office.
