The overall purpose of Early Help Autism service is to support autistic children (or in the process of an autism assessment being undertaken) and their parent/carer.
The service aims to enable families and autistic young people to better understand the diagnosis and develop strategies to manage behaviour. All services are developed in partnership with parent, carer and the children themselves.
The post holder will work under supervision to provide short-term home-based autism programmes to children with an autism diagnosis or undergoing an assessment for autism, their parents/carers/siblings, in order to enhance carer's skills and abilities and thus improve family functioning.
When completing your application please refer to your skills knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document (if applicable). This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described.
Fixed location: The Corner, 40 Rupert Street, Nechells, Birmingham B7 4PS.

Pay & Reward Framework
We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.
For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out 1st April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a key pillar of our Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to grow and develop in their career at Barnardo's as it will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues to progress through the pay band of their role.
Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay progression steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
