Our Neurodevelopment Pathway is looking at recruiting a new band 6 Neurodevelopment Pathway Practitioner, full time on a permanent basis.
We are a supportive team who works very closely with a number of other services to complete multi-agency assessments to support, diagnose, and signpost children and young people with complex neurodevelopmental difficulties.
We are seeking a practitioner who is passionate about providing excellent care to children and young people and their families during their journey on the Neurodevelopment Pathway.
We are looking for a practitioner who ideally has NHS experience to work alongside our multidisciplinary team, with experience and knowledge of working with children and young people with neurodevelopmental conditions. The practitioner will have knowledge and experience of triaging complex referrals and contributing to complex case discussions within a multidisciplinary team.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Work as an integral part of the Neurodevelopmental pathway team.
2. Support the development and implementation of a diagnostic pathway for children with neurodevelopmental difficulties.
3. Provide leadership, support, and specialist advice and consultancy to colleagues on neurodevelopmental issues and referral processes.
4. Complete specialist assessments to gather and collate key information to contribute to the diagnostic process.
5. Take a key role in feeding back to young people and their families the outcome of their multi-agency assessment.
6. Complete observations and assessments using assessment tools, e.g., ADOS, for children and young people open to the Neurodevelopmental Pathway.
