Main duties of the job

You will be managing (with support as needed) your own clinical caseload in community clinics, mainstream nurseries & primary schools. There will be a requirement to travel across and the city of Hereford and around the County as required and therefore a car driver is essential to this post.

This post will also allow the development of a more specialist clinical skill set . This will be fully supported by the team but experience working with pre-school/school age children with a diagnosis of Autism would be an advantage.
