• Identify co-occurring needs, risks and safeguarding concerns, escalating appropriately.
• Produce clear, high-quality autism assessment reports within agreed timescales.
• Provide sensitive feedback to families and communicate outcomes appropriately.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced clinician to join a supportive service focused on delivering high-quality, neurodiversity-affirming assessments for children, young people and their families.
