As part of the expansion of Neurodevelopmental (ND) services across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR), Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) is growing its team to improve experiences and outcomes for children, young people (CYP) and their families.
The post supports the ongoing ND Improvement Programme, which aims to enhance diagnosis and care pathways for CYP with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The programme focuses on improving outcomes through service redesign, workforce development and more effective use of resources.
Successful candidates will join a motivated multidisciplinary team committed to delivering high-quality, child-centred care. The role requires creativity, adaptability and the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment, always keeping CYP and families at the heart of service delivery.
Post holders will play a key role in reducing waiting times, improving access to support and driving positive change across local ND services. The team is ambitious, innovative and committed to learning, reducing inequalities and improving the quality and accessibility of services for the local population. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the future development of ND services within LLR.
