The AOT consists of a Specialist Educational Psychologist, three autism specialists (Early Years, Primary and Secondary) and a Specialist Teaching Assistant (all ages).

The AOT consistently receives highly positive evaluations from both schools and parents.

The successful candidate will have:
? Extensive knowledge and understanding of autism spectrum disorder
? Extensive knowledge and understanding of typical child development across the age range but with particular focus on adolescence.
? Considerable experience in working with schools and parents.
? Excellent communication skills
? A commitment to the inclusive ethos of the Autism Outreach Team
