Due to continued expansion within the Society, Tyne & Wear Autistic
Society are currently seeking an innovative and highly motivated
Speech and Language Therapist to join out Adult Services Unit, who
work in partnership with the NAS and other Autism Specific Service
Providers.

You will form part of a dynamic unit, working with young adults age
19 and over with autistic spectrum disorder and specific language
impairments. The successful candidate will be expected to
undertake individual casework with students and become involved with
Augmentative Communication Systems.

You should enjoy a challenge and like working as part of a team.
With excellent communication skills you will need to demonstrate
patience, enthusiasm and resilience for what is often a very
demanding but rewarding vocation.

Ideally you should have two years or more specialist experience and
will be familiar with working with people with autism, however we
would encourage applications from recently qualified SLT's looking
to gain specialist experience in this area.

Whilst this is a stand alone position, professional support will be
provided by the Speech and Language Therapy Service within our
childrens service provision.
