• Assess children and young people aged 3–18 years and adults aged 18+.
• Observe and engage clients during assessment sessions, ensuring an age‑appropriate, respectful and compassionate approach.
• Review ADOS reports, developmental histories and relevant collateral information from families, schools and other informants within the same assessment episode.
• Formulate diagnostic conclusions and provide clear, compassionate feedback, including recommendations and signposting to local and national support services.
• Collaborate with the multidisciplinary team (MDT) within planned clinics and where additional information is required, including offering follow‑up sessions when necessary.
• Produce high‑quality diagnostic reports within 48 hours of assessment, in line with DSM‑5 criteria and agreed report templates (administrative support provided for formatting and quality assurance).
• Request onward referrals where clinically indicated, in line with local NHS Trust and ICB pathways.

• Demonstrable expertise and confidence in ASD and ADHD assessments for children, young people and/or adults.
• Familiarity with diagnostic tools such as Conners, ADI‑R, DIVA‑5, CAARS and QBTest.
• A clinician who consistently demonstrates trust, integrity, commitment and kindness.
• A strong commitment to clinical excellence and best practice.
• A specialist interest in neurodiversity.

• Ongoing training opportunities.
