Bee U is the emotional health and wellbeing service for people up to the age of 25, living in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin. You will be working in the Bee U Intensive Support Team, as part of a multi-disciplinary team, specifically commissioned to work with autistic children and young people experiencing significant distress, who are at risk of hospital admission. You will provide consultation to colleagues in the ISMHT, and across the BeeU service where required, regarding the communication needs of autistic young people seen by the service. You will provide specialist Speech and Language Therapy input for autistic young people seen by the ISMHT: to assess, understand, support and promote their unique communication needs and preferences, utilising an experience-sensitive and neurodivergence-informed care framework.
* Provide high-quality, experience-sensitive, neurodivergence-informed Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) assessment for autistic young people seen in the BeeU ISMHT, supporting a better understanding of their unique 'languaging' style and communication identity across various environments.
* Deliver a range of SLT interventions following specific assessments to enable autistic children and young people to communicate autonomously, authentically, and with agency to express a full range of communication functions, using their preferred means and modalities, including Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
* Provide psychoeducation to autistic CYP, families, carers, and support networks to facilitate insight into their communication styles and needs.
* Ensure interventions align with NICE Guidance, RCSLT guidelines, and other relevant evidence-based practices.
* Prioritise workload, allocate tasks to oneself and team members, and manage all levels of work priority within the service.
* Make clinical judgments supported by reasoning and research, respecting the lived experiences of autistic individuals, in collaboration with multidisciplinary staff and according to the service specification.
