Summary

I am a highly-motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. I have a strong work ethic, adaptability, and exceptional interpersonal skills. I have extensive experience working as part of an interdisciplinary team. I have extensive experience of providing a variety of therapeutic interventions to service users and their families including; 1:1 speech and language therapy, group therapy, parent/care-giver training. I have been involved in the development of groups for infants up to those that target adolescent and young adults. I have extensive experience of developing and delivering parents training programmes as well as delivering formal parent training.

I also have experience of working closely with teachers/resource teachers and SNA’s and providing school based intervention and teacher/SNA training and support.

While I work well as part of a multidisciplinary team I equally work well independently. I feel that my extensive clinical knowledge and interpersonal skills would make my an asset to any team
