Employer: Vertis Health

Vertis Health is seeking an experienced and motivated Speech and Language Therapist to join our Adult Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessment Service.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute specialist expertise in speech, language, communication and social interaction assessment within a multidisciplinary adult autism diagnostic pathway. You will play a key role in supporting high-quality, evidence-based diagnostic decision-making while helping individuals understand their communication strengths, needs and preferred ways of engaging with the world.

Working within a supportive MDT, you will contribute to assessments, diagnostic discussions, report writing and person-centred support planning, ensuring services remain neurodiversity-affirming, accessible and aligned with NICE guidance.

Main duties of the job
  • Conduct specialist communication and social interaction assessments for adults referred for autism assessment.
  • Review referral information, developmental histories and supporting evidence to inform clinical reasoning and assessment planning.
  • Explore social communication differences across a range of settings including relationships, employment, education and healthcare.
  • Contribute specialist speech and language expertise to multidisciplinary diagnostic discussions and decision-making.
  • Produce clear, high-quality assessment summaries and diagnostic report contributions.
  • Support the development of personalised support plans, including communication strategies and reasonable adjustments.
  • Maintain accurate clinical records and documentation using agreed systems and templates.
  • Participate in MDT meetings, clinical supervision, audit activity and service development initiatives.
  • Identify and escalate safeguarding, risk, mental health or capacity concerns in line with governance requirements

About us
Vertis Health is a federation of general practices delivering high-quality NHS services across Worcestershire. We were founded by local primary care clinicians and are owned by the practices we serve. As a purpose-led limited company, the money we generate is reinvested into the local healthcare economy, helping to strengthen services, support innovation and improve patient care.

Our neurodevelopmental services are being built around clinical quality, meaningful outcomes and strong governance. You will join an organisation that understands NHS systems and values while giving experienced clinicians the opportunity to influence, develop and improve services.

Depending on the role, our benefits include access to the NHS Pension, structured learning and development, clinical leadership opportunities, career progression and genuine flexibility.

If you want to help build a clinically rigorous, compassionate and sustainable service, we would be pleased to hear from you.
