We are looking for a Speech and Language Therapist passionate about improving the lives of autistic young people and adults to join our transformative Transforming Care Autism Team (TCAT). This post can also be offered as a Band 6 developmental post. The multidisciplinary team operates across Sussex, providing specialist assessment and consultation to colleagues in SPFT working with adults and young people aged 14 onwards who have a diagnosis of autism and are at risk of a mental health hospital admission. The successful candidate will have experience working with autistic people presenting risk and liaising with a range of agencies. The team supports a neuroaffirmative understanding of the individual’s needs in relation to neurodiversity to facilitate discharge from inpatient services or avoid admissions. Working alongside clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, peer support workers and therapy assistants, you will contribute to achieving excellent outcomes for individuals and advancing practice across the Trust. Supervision, training and peer support are central to the team’s practice.
