Job description

As a Non-Medical Prescriber within our ADHD Medication Service, you will provide high-quality, evidence-based assessment, prescribing, treatment and ongoing care for children, young people and adults with ADHD. You will work autonomously within your professional scope of practice and prescribing competencies, managing ADHD medication titration, monitoring, clinical risk assessments and ongoing reviews. You’ll make safe, informed clinical decisions by following NICE guidance, professional standards and organisational policies. Working closely with our multidisciplinary team, you’ll deliver compassionate, person-centred care that puts clients at the heart of their treatment. You’ll build positive relationships with colleagues, patients and families to support joined-up care and shared decision-making. Through your expertise, you’ll help us deliver a safe, effective and sustainable ADHD service while contributing to its ongoing development and success.

What you’ll be doing:

• Deliver high-quality treatment planning review in line with NICE guidance. This will include medication initiation, titration and review using your clinical judgement to make safe, evidence-based treatment decisions, so that every person receives personalised, effective and compassionate care.

• Prescribe and monitor ADHD medication safely by working within your prescribing competencies, following professional guidance and organisational policies, monitoring treatment effectiveness and side effects, and ensure appropriate physical health monitoring is completed, including blood pressure, pulse, weight and cardiovascular risk screening in accordance with NICE guidance, so that medication remains safe, appropriate and achieves the best possible outcomes.

• Manage clinical risk and safeguard the people we support by completing comprehensive risk assessments, recognising and escalating concerns relating to safeguarding, medication misuse, diversion or deterioration, and contributing to multidisciplinary risk management plans where needed, so that people receive timely, safe and appropriate support.

• Work collaboratively with patients, families and colleagues by involving people in shared decision-making, communicating clearly with patients, families, GPs, schools and partner organisations, and contributing to multidisciplinary discussions and care planning, so that care is joined-up, person-centred and everyone understands the next steps.

• Maintain accurate clinical records and uphold high standards of governance by producing clear, timely and legally compliant documentation, following GDPR, professional standards and prescribing governance frameworks, reporting incidents and safeguarding concerns appropriately, and using clinical systems safely, so that care is well documented, compliant and supports safe clinical practice.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of our medication and treatment service by participating in clinical supervision, audit, reflective practice, service evaluation and quality improvement activities, while helping to develop clinical pathways, prescribing practices and ways of working, so that we continue to deliver safe, effective and evidence-based services.

• Manage your workload safely and professionally by working within your scope of practice, maintaining professional registration, mandatory training and CPD, keeping your knowledge up to date, and raising concerns if workload or capacity becomes unsafe, so that you can provide high-quality care while maintaining your own professional wellbeing and standards.

• Use technology confidently to support excellent care by using electronic patient records, digital clinical platforms and communication systems accurately and securely, while always maintaining confidentiality and information governance, so that information is protected and care is delivered efficiently across the service.

We’d love it if you’re someone who is:

• Passionate about delivering compassionate, person-centred care that puts people and their families at the heart of every decision.

• A confident and empathetic communicator who can build trusting relationships with patients, families and colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds.

• Organised and able to balance a varied workload while making safe, well-informed clinical decisions.

• Comfortable working independently whilst recognising the value of collaboration and knowing when to seek support or elevate concerns.

• Curious and committed to continually developing your knowledge, reflecting on your practice and embracing opportunities to learn.

• Professional, approachable and committed to maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality, integrity and ethical practice.

• Proactive and solutions-focused, with a genuine desire to contribute to improving services and delivering the best possible outcomes for the people we support.

We’d love it if you’re someone who has:

• A qualification as a Nurse, Doctor, Pharmacist, Psychiatrist or other appropriately registered healthcare professional, with current registration (NMC, GMC, HCPC or GPhC) and no restrictions on practice.

• An Independent and supplementary Non-Medical Prescribing (V300) qualification, or registered General Medical Practitioner status, together with the relevant prescribing competencies and ongoing professional revalidation.

• At least one year’s experience working within a specialist ADHD service, including ADHD assessment, medication management, titration and ongoing reviews in line with NICE guidance.

• Experience undertaking clinical risk assessments, developing risk management plans and making safe, evidence-based prescribing decisions.

• Experience working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams, using electronic clinical record systems and delivering remote or virtual consultations.

• Experience working with shared-care prescribing arrangements alongside primary care services.

• A great understanding of ADHD services, prescribing guidance, safeguarding, information governance and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Prescribing Competency Framework.

• Being part a purpose led organisation, with strong values at the heart of everything we do.

• Working alongside our exceptional clinical leadership team and colleagues.

• The opportunity to do amazing work with our charity ‘Waiting Well’
