The NHS is changing. More emphasis on community-based care means there’s never been a better time to join us.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and adaptable Neurodiversity Family Support Practitioner to join our caring and progressive team in Maidstone.
We’re a close team but we’re never exclusive. If you can bring a professional approach and fresh ideas, we would love to hear from you.
Your Daily Tasks Will Be Varied And Include
* Delivering training and resources to support a more inclusive and adaptive school environment that celebrates neurodiversity through use of a tool that enables identification of individual needs.
* Working in partnership with schools to provide additional support and guidance.
* Carrying a caseload of families and working with key agencies (such as PCN Navigators) to ensure families are able to access the support that meets their needs.
This is a busy role, so you will be working within your team to balance different tasks that often change. You will need a full driving licence to travel to different sites across the community and schools.
Rated ‘outstanding’ by the CQC, we’re passionate about delivering high standards of patient care and excellent services to improve the health of our communities. To do this, we need outstanding people who share our values: compassionate, aspirational, responsive, excellent.
We know a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion leads to better patient care and a happier workforce. We pride ourselves on being diverse and welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
We ask for information about your protected characteristics on our application forms. This isn’t visible to anyone involved with shortlisting or interviewing you, except when you choose to be considered under the guaranteed interview scheme due to disability. Shortlisters will see two ticks alongside your application to ensure they apply the principles of the scheme to your submission.
The data we collect helps us to ensure we are attracting diverse applicants, providing equitable access to career opportunities, and supports our journey to being a Great Place to Work.
As a flexible working friendly organization, we want you to work in a way that is best for us, our patients, and you. Talk to us about a flexible working arrangement that won’t involve sacrificing time for personal interests or family commitments. We’ll support you to work flexibly in a way that suits us both.
