The role is aimed at people with a diagnosis and personal lived experience of being assessed and receiving a diagnosis of Autism. The main intent of this post is to provide support to children and young people going through a diagnostic autism assessment with CNDS.

The post holder will have several avenues of support but should also feel confident in their own personal skills and abilities to draw upon their own resilience and strengths to sustain their own wellbeing throughout this role.</p> <p>The post will also involve contributing to the continuing development of the Peer Supporter role and linking in with Third sector and/or recovery colleges.</p> <p>For anyone who is interested in applying, we will hold an open day at CNDS.
