Specialist Allied Health Professional (OT or SLT)

We would love to hear from Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Therapists who are passionate about working with Neuro-divergent young people and as part of a friendly and supportive team.

The Children and Young People's Neurodevelopmental Partnership (CYPNP) is an innovative and dynamic multi-professional team. We provided strengths based, neuro-affirmative and family centred assessments for young people who may be Autistic or have ADHD.

We also provide pre-assessment support and post-diagnosis therapy working with the young person, their families and education providers.

Working in this team means a chance to work with a wide range of health professionals who are committed to multi-disciplinary working, we can draw on the skills and experience each professional group bring ensuring that assessments are robust, formulation driven and hold the young person at the heart of the assessment process.
