Adult Autism Speech & Language Therapist
£40,000 - £50,000 | West Midlands | Hybrid | Full-time or part-time
If you want your SLT expertise to play a genuine part in autism diagnosis, rather than sit around the edges of the pathway, this role is worth considering.
You will join a multidisciplinary adult autism service where speech, language, communication, and social interaction are treated as core parts of diagnostic understanding. Your clinical reasoning will feed directly into MDT discussion, formulation, and recommendations for the person being assessed.
The service works across psychology, nursing, OT, SLT, and senior medical colleagues, with clear clinical oversight and governance. Core diagnostic assessments are face-to-face, with hybrid working available for suitable non-diagnostic elements.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What makes the role appealing

- There is protected time for assessment, report writing, MDT work, supervision, and service development.
- You can contribute to personalized recommendations around communication, reasonable adjustments, and onward support.
- There is scope to support junior clinicians and contribute to how the pathway develops.
- The job plan includes around 1822 hours of clinical assessment activity, 810 hours for reporting and formulation, and dedicated MDT, supervision, and governance time.
