Job overview

You will be managing a relatively large community clinic caseload and will also have the opportunity to develop more specialist clinical skills in the field of Autism/Complex Needs.
This post would be suitable for a newly qualified candidate as full support and supervision can be available. However, this post would also suit a therapist with a few years experience as continued development opportunities in more specialist clinical areas are available.
Regardless of your level of experience, support and supervision from peers and mentors will be available.
Although advertised as a full time position, part time applicants are very welcome.
Main duties of the job
You will be managing (with support as needed) your own clinical caseload in community clinics, mainstream nurseries & primary schools. There will be a requirement to travel across and the city of Hereford and around the County as required and therefore a car driver is essential to this post.
This post will also allow the development of a more specialist clinical skill set . This will be fully supported by the team but experience working with pre-school/school age children with a diagnosis of Autism would be an advantage.
