Senior ADHD Assessor - Children

Job summary

Are you an innovative clinician working in childrens ADHD assessments, excited to use software tools that enhance the assessor and family experience of care? This role is for you!

We are not a standard ADHD assessment service; we:

• Have built our own technology & AI tools to gather the required information from families, and support your documentation, so you can focus on childrens needs
• Have a Clinical Specialist, who is a senior clinician who works alongside you to ensure all of our ADHD assessments are multidisciplinary in line with NICE guidance.
• Offer an integrated prescribing service led by our Prescribing Team, ensuring families can get fast access to ADHD medications where required

This role will ensure we deliver a fantastic Childrens ADHD assessment service to families. If you have the appropriate skills, you can work across our Childrens Autism and Children's Dual Autism and ADHD Assessment pathways.

We commit to supporting your development and well-being, including:

• The Paloma Clinical Academy programme supports all clinicians at all stages of their careers to develop (e.g. to our Senior Assessor role) and cross-skill (e.g. in autism)
• Regular clinical supervision
• 1 protected day per month for assessor team training, Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and reflection.
• Quarterly development conversations with clear career progression pathways.
• Clear weekly timetables that support a role mix across appointments, administration, development, and team building.

Main duties of the job

You are a registered nurse, speech and language therapist, occupational therapist, social worker or practitioner psychologist skilled in ADHD assessments.

You want to be part of an always-learning environment that embraces software and AI tools, and you will help us go further and faster with your positive and collaborative attitude.

Responsibilities:

• Deliver high-quality Childrens ADHD Neurodevelopmental Assessments
• Act in accordance with our Safeguarding Policy, including conducting a risk assessment where necessary.
• Keep up to date with the mandatory training, Continuing Professional Development and professional registration requirements of your professional background.
• Share ideas for continuing to improve Palomas software tools that ensure high-quality, safe, and efficient assessments
