Autism Care Edinburgh

| Hello. I have no experience in this job fails but do have a lot of experience assisting with such complex needs, I was a pupil at a school called Braidburn school (which was a complex multidisciplinary special needs school) with all kinds of needs, including cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy and so many more. My fiancé all has severe ( spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy) and diagnosed with type 2 bipolar. I don’t have that needed experience that you’re searching for but, if you give me the chance, I’m sure that I’ll come out on top and able to assist you in any way you need.

| I have over 10 years’ experience in the Autism/ Learning disability/ Brain injury Support industry, and I believe the knowledge and skills built up during this time make me the right candidate.

| I'm a psychology student currently but multiple years experience in support work (very happy to send CV & ref's). I'm incredibly passionate about supporting autistic young people particularly and boosting their confidence to manage mental health issues. I particularly saw a range of differing mental health issues whilst working at a CAHMS inpatient ward in Oxford; as a Young Person Healthcare Assistant allocated to particular case teams, I was that young person’s advocate and supported their care plan by having 1:1 sessions with them each week. I also have experience as a support worker at a SEN school for children with autism and severe learning disabilities. I also have multiple training qualifications from my healthcare assistant job, such as having completed a Dialectical Behavioural Therapy course and studied for months to complete a CBT-e training programme. I am also a very empathetic, reliable, caring individual who is keen to encourage young people's personalities and skills to flourish. Working in mental health is my chosen purpose.

During my medical residency I spent about 4 #####.#### in and outpatient clinics ############.## developmental disorders of all types, ranging from extreme prematurity to complex genetic disorders, with a focus on psychiatric wellbeing notably preventing the onset of anxiety, depression or frustration for these children. I also have a qualification in improvisational music therapy aimed at interpersonal communication both verbal and non verbal. I am a lively and energetic person with good emergency managememt skills (worked as a pediatric EMT), detail oriented, focused and cool-headed. Can provide reference letters from former patients' families as well as from my former boss at the hospital.

| I am a 24 year old from Inverness, living in Edinburgh for 5 years. I am currently working in a Primary School as a PSA, working one to one with children with learning difficulties and special needs. I was also a young career for my siblings, one who has autism, this led me to have the opportunity to work with disabilities programs and to land the job that I am in. This has given me the skills when situations arise to deal with them appropriately and has taught me to approach those in my charge with patience and sensitivity. I have a PVG for children and adults.
