About the Neurodevelopmental Triage Worker role:

A high percentage of referrals received into MMSPA request neurodevelopmental assessments for autism and ADHD. Where appropriate, these referrals undergo a ‘screening’ process in order to determine clinical suitability for a neurodevelopmental assessment.

This process gives young people, parents/carers, and school staff the opportunity to ‘have a voice’ and contribute to the decision by giving their views on the young person’s needs and presenting difficulties. As our Neurodevelopmental Triage Worker, you will contribute to this process.

The main responsibilities of our Neurodevelopmental Triage Worker include:

• Gathering information on the strengths, wishes, and mental health needs of children, young people & families who are referred to MindMate SPA.

• Helping to establish the most appropriate outcome for individual referrals.

• Providing signposting advice and guidance.

• Working within standard operating procedures and pathways to support the triage of neurodevelopmental referrals to help determine whether a young person meets the criteria for an autism/ADHD assessment.

• Offering telephone consultation and advice to families and professionals.
