Are you an experienced clinician passionate about delivering high-quality, evidence-based ADHD assessments for children and young people? We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established, clinician-led primary care organisation in Worcestershire for a CYP ADHD Assessment Clinician to join their growing neurodevelopmental service.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a supportive, governance-led MDT environment, contributing directly to safe, timely, and defensible diagnostic outcomes for children, young people and their families.

About the role

You'll deliver structured CYP ADHD assessments, integrating multi-informant evidence from home and education settings, presenting cases to MDT, and producing clear, high-quality reports that make a genuine difference to families. You'll work closely with a Consultant Psychiatrist/Paediatrician and a wider neurodevelopmental team, within clearly defined clinical governance arrangements — with prescribing responsibilities sitting separately with designated prescribers, so you can focus on what you do best: thorough, high-quality assessment work.

Key responsibilities

• Deliver structured CYP ADHD assessments, including developmental history, functional impact, and differential considerations
• Review pre-assessment information (questionnaires, school evidence, prior records) to support triage
• Gather and integrate multi-informant evidence across home and education settings
• Present cases to MDT and contribute to evidence-based, defensible diagnostic decision-making
• Provide clear, sensitive feedback to children, young people and families
• Produce high-quality reports and correspondence to agreed timeframes
• Maintain accurate clinical records and support performance reporting
• Identify and escape safeguarding concerns, clinical risk, and complexity
• Contribute to audit, incident learning, and service improvement
• Participate in supervision, MDT reflective practice, and ongoing CPD

What we're looking for

• Current professional registration with NMC or HCPC (or equivalent)
• Direct experience delivering CYP ADHD assessments within a diagnostic pathway
• Significant post-qualification experience working with children and young people in mental health, neurodevelopmental, paediatric, CAMHS, or related services
• Training/competency in recognised ADHD assessment tools
• Experience contributing to structured assessment processes (history taking, multi-source information gathering, clinical reasoning)
• Ability to integrate evidence into clear, defensible clinical conclusions
• Strong report-writing skills, with a track record of delivering high-quality documentation to deadline
• Sound understanding of safeguarding, risk identification and escalation in CYP services
• Confident MDT working within governed diagnostic pathways
• Experience of audit, service improvement, or pathway refinement
• Experience within high-volume assessment pathways or Right to Choose models

What's on offer

• NHS-aligned pension
• CPD and study leave
• No on-call requirement
• A structured, governance-led MDT environment with clear support from senior medical oversight
• The opportunity to genuinely shape and strengthen a growing CYP ADHD pathway
