This post provides an excellent opportunity for a therapist looking to develop their skills and experience working with children with autistic spectrum disorders. Based at the Edmund Harvey Centre in Stockton-on-Tees, the post includes work with children with ASD in a range of settings throughout the area.

The emphasis within the post is on differential diagnosis of the client group and the successful applicant will be a key member of the recently established multi-agency diagnostic team. Early Bird has recently been introduced to the locality and is expected to continue to be developed.

In addition, the post holder will be a member of the multidisciplinary ASD working group, which includes representation from paediatrics, child psychiatry, Social Services and Education, looking at best practise and the development of the service.
