St Andrew’s Community Partnerships offers an exciting opportunity for an Assistant Psychologist within a neurodevelopmental service for adults, in partnership with local Trusts.

St Andrew’s is a charity commissioned by the NHS to provide specialist mental healthcare for individuals with complex mental health needs. Community Partnerships develops and delivers community-based services, including private therapy clinics, an Expert Witness Service, Diagnostic Assessment Clinics, and university student counseling clinics.

The role and person

In this role, you will work alongside qualified psychologists assessing adults for ASD and ADHD, using tools like ADOS 2 and other psychometrics, with full training provided. Most assessments are conducted online, with some face-to-face assessments possible.

You will support the administration and writing of clinical reports, working with a team of clinicians. Previous ASD/ADHD experience is desirable, but training and supervision will be provided.

You should have at least a 2:1 degree in psychology. You will work under the supervision of qualified psychologists and will manage databases to monitor clinical outcomes and service delivery.

Excellent written, interpersonal, and organizational skills are essential, as you will act as a link between clinicians and other team members.

Previous experience working with children or adults is desirable but not essential, as support will be provided through supervision. The role requires autonomy and responsibility; therefore, prior experience as an Assistant Psychologist is advantageous, along with good time management skills.

A full, clean driving license and access to a car are essential, as travel may be required.

Rewards

We offer an excellent benefits package, including pension, NHS-standard sickness policy, Blue Light Card and health discounts, 27 days of annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing after 10 years), life cover, Electric Car scheme, Cycle to Work scheme, healthcare cash plan, free parking, paid DBS application, and access to free vocational qualifications.

Our patients and colleagues expect you to embody St Andrew’s CARE values of Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence every day.
