This is an exciting opportunity to join a multi professional service.   The successful candidate will require experience in working with children and young people with autism spectrum disorder. Our Primary Specialist Development Officers support schools to develop their skills and capacity by working directly with staff and their children with autism. We are widening the scope of the role in order to support the inclusion of young people of secondary age. Depending on the needs of the young person, this may include direct work in the home to support a transition into school. It is therefore essential that candidates are experienced in making relationships and engaging with young people whose anxiety affects their daily life.
