, part of  Group, is expanding its specialist autism diagnostic service and is looking for experienced ADOS-trained clinicians to join a growing multidisciplinary team.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to reducing waiting times, accelerating diagnoses, and improving outcomes for children and families.

• Support consultant clinicians in providing same-day feedback to families.
• Provide concise written summaries of your ADOS findings to support the diagnostic report.

Each assessment includes observation, scoring, MDT discussion, reporting and feedback. Clinics are typically scheduled for four assessments per day.

We welcome applications from the following HCPC or NMC registered professionals with formal ADOS-2 or ADI-R training and experience:

• Occupational Therapists
• Speech and Language Therapists
• Psychologists (Clinical, Counselling or Forensic)
• Registered Mental Health or Learning Disability Nurses

You will need demonstrable experience in autism diagnostic assessments, full safeguarding training, and an enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service.

• Flexible scheduling to suit your other commitments.
• End-to-end administrative support with scheduling, coordination and documentation.
• Regular peer review and supervision from senior clinicians.
• Access to CPD, training workshops and development sessions.
