Simply click the button below to apply for this position.

Currently, a lot of the work is able to be carried out from home.

Career Level B / (NHS Band 6 - 7) options available.

Full time 37.5 hours a week. Part-time considered for a minimum of 22.5 hours a week.

We are open to an informal discussion around flexible working.

St Andrew’s Healthcare is a charity with an excellent and well-deserved reputation as a provider of specialist mental healthcare. We transform the lives of people with the greatest mental health needs.

This service is part of our Community Partnerships Division who this year had their CQC rating as good.

Are you looking for an opportunity to be part of a dynamic, passionate and highly skilled team of psychologists and MDT where you can use your skills across a range of clinical populations? Our service is constantly growing, so if you are a proactive, HCPC registered Allied Health Professional (i.e. Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech & Language Therapist (SALT) with a strong client-focus, excellent communication skills and a “can-do” attitude, we want to hear from you.

We have a number of exciting opportunities within our Neurodevelopmental Services for Adults and Children and are seeking enthusiastic AHP to join our team to provide diagnostic services for children and/or adults, depending on your experience. Currently, most of these services are being delivered online but there will be a requirement to travel into the community within the midlands for face to face assessments where required. Travel to the Northampton work base will also be required on occasion for attendance to team meetings and supervision. Successful candidates will have experience with ASD and ADHD assessment and ideally be trained in diagnostic tools such as the ADOS-2 and DIVA-5 assessments. However, where necessary, training will be provided as well as comprehensive support and supervision.

The Role and Person

You will be able to work independently as well as closely and collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team. You will be eager to take ownership and responsibility for delivering your work and will be self-driven, results-oriented and be able to demonstrate excellent time management and organizational skills.

You will be encouraged to develop your strengths and skills through a robust structure of clinical supervision and opportunities for professional development. St Andrew’s has an excellent record of providing opportunities for research, training and continuing professional development so you will also have access to peer support from the wider Charity, as well as regular CPD events. Training relevant to the requirements of the role will be provided.

Although our offices are based in Northampton, the post holder will mostly be required to deliver assessments online with occasional travel into the community so full driver’s licence is desirable. However, in return, you will also benefit from having the flexibility to work from home and hours that can work around your family life.

In order to be eligible, you will need to be registered with HCPC. ASD and ADHD diagnostic experience is desirable but we can offer training if this is an area in which you would like to professionally develop.

The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate experience of working successfully with a varied child and adult population with a wide range of mental health needs and will therefore ideally have a minimum of 1 years post qualification experience but newly qualified professionals with a particular interest in diagnostic services will be welcomed and supported.

If this sounds like your type of working environment, we look forward to receiving your application.

The position is offered as a permanent contract.

Reward

We offer an excellent benefits package including pension, 38 days holiday, sickness policy on par with NHS, life cover, cycle to work scheme and opportunities for research, teaching and continuing professional development.
