Psychiatry UK is the UK’s leading provider of digital psychiatry services, working both privately and with the NHS to support children, teenagers and adults with expert, patient-centred care.

A career with Psychiatry UK allows you to expand your knowledge, enhance your skills, and gain valuable life experience—all while enjoying the flexibility of a remote full‑time or part‑time role. As part of a leading online mental health service, you’ll collaborate with innovative, forward‑thinking professionals in a dynamic, multidisciplinary team committed to making a real difference.

The ADHD Continuing Care Prescriber is responsible for providing ongoing prescribing and monitoring for adults with ADHD, ensuring safe, effective, and patient‑centred care. The role focuses on maintaining continuity of treatment through regular medication reviews, clinical monitoring, and the management of patients whose shared care arrangements with their GP have been declined or are otherwise unavailable.

This role does not include the initiation or titration of ADHD medication. Patients will enter the service following assessment and stabilisation, and the post holder will be responsible for ongoing prescribing, monitoring treatment effectiveness, managing side effects, and supporting long‑term medication adherence. Any decisions relating to treatment initiation, titration, or complex clinical management will be escalated in line with established clinical pathways.

Working within NICE guidelines, Psychiatry UK policies, and clinical governance frameworks, the post holder will work closely with Consultant Psychiatrists and the wider multidisciplinary team to deliver high‑quality care, manage clinical risk, and ensure patient safety.

The role involves managing repeat prescribing processes using both electronic and paper‑based systems, requiring excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively within structured prescribing workflows.

This position offers a clear development pathway for clinicians wishing to progress within ADHD services, with training and exposure to medication titration processes to support progression into a Specialist Prescriber role.

This is a home‑based position with flexibility in line with Psychiatry UK's flexitime principles. Occasional travel may be required to attend meetings or other work‑related activities.
