About the service

We are creating dedicated Children and Young People ADHD and Autism assessment hubs that put families at the centre of care. These hubs bring together strong, multidisciplinary teams who share a single commitment: to deliver assessments with clarity, compassion, and consistency. With clear standards guiding every step, our clinics run Monday to Friday, 09:00-17:00, offering structured, reliable support without the pressure of on-call work. This is about building a service that children, young people, and their families can truly rely on -- and a workplace where professionals can focus on making a lasting difference every day.

Key responsibilities

Lead and participate in CYP ADHD and CYP Autism assessments, including structured developmental history, validated tools (for example Conners, ADOS or ADI-R), second-setting liaison and formulation. Provide diagnostic MDT sign-off in line with service standards. Autism uses a two-clinician model including a senior clinician. ADHD MDTs include a specialist paediatrician or psychiatrist. Deliver feedback to families, produce clear summaries for GPs and schools, and advise on reasonable adjustments. Supervise and mentor clinicians in the team and contribute to audit, governance and service improvement.
