Job description

Job Summary

Join a Service Where Clinical Quality Comes First.

If you’re an Independent Prescriber who cares about doing ADHD work properly, this is a rare role where:

• Governance is strong
• Caseloads are realistic
• Templates are standardised
• Admin time is protected
• MDT support is genuine
• The organisation actually values your judgement

No volume targets. No per‑assessment chasing. No commercial pressure to cut corners.

Just safe, structured, NICE‑aligned ADHD care delivered by a service that puts patients and clinicians first.

Main duties of the job

Why This Role is Different

• To work on NHS Contracted Services within a Primary Care setting
• Remote work without isolation
• Weekly MDT with a GP Clinical Lead and other Clinical Experts
• A stable, salaried post not private‑sector burnout
• You’re paid for your expertise, not for the number of assessments you can cram in

Realistic templates that respect your clinical brain

• 60 to 90 min assessments
• 30 min feedback calls
• 30 min med initiation
• 10 to 15 min titration reviews

Professional pride and protected thinking space.

We encourage CPD, improvement work and evidence‑based practice and your voice genuinely matters.

If you want a role with purpose, pace, professional autonomy and proper governance, this is a place you will thrive.

• Initiate, titrate and review ADHD medication within local formulary and national guidance.
• Arrange and interpret baselines and physical health monitoring.
• Complete safe shared‑care handovers to GPs once stable.
• Produce same‑day high‑quality letters using standardised templates.
• Present complex cases at weekly MDT and contribute to audit, improvement and clinical learning.
