About Paloma

Our mission is to make NHS autism and ADHD assessments and care accessible within 4 weeks of a GP referral, and, in turn, help every child achieve their potential.

In 2024, our founders, Mark and Darshak, were shocked to find that children needing an NHS autism or ADHD assessment were waiting 4-10 years for these assessments. Delayed assessments can result in children being more likely to develop mental health conditions and fall behind in education. Furthermore, the much-needed pre/post-assessment support (outside of ADHD medications) is typically not funded by the NHS.

These long waits have built up because of increased recognition and understanding of neurodevelopmental conditions, and a lack of investment and innovation within the NHS to meet growing demand.

Mark and Darshak, with their 25 years of combined NHS experience, including building services that have treated over 1,000,000 patients in obesity & ophthalmology, founded Paloma to change this.

As of May 2026, we have successfully reduced waits to less than 3 months by;

• Taking a product-first approach to redesign the care pathway to give families a more consumer-like experience of care
• Our in-house product, engineering, and AI team is building our own autism and ADHD specific electronic health record and AI clinical support tool to free clinicians from their significant documentation burden to refocus on supporting families.
• Investing in expanding the clinician workforce and upskilling them in new ways of working.

We are proud that Paloma is:

• Loved by families, with 4.9 out of 5 Trustpilot and Google ratings
• Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered and quality-focused
• Clinically-led, with a team of over 150 people, including over 100 clinicians supporting families through their care journey. We are hiring 100+ more roles over the next 12 months.
• A community of passionate, mission-driven, and innovative team members who challenge the status quo and test and learn from new ideas and approaches.
• In control of our own destiny, as we are profitable and backed by leading healthcare investors Triple Point and Heal Capital

What’s next?

• Whilst we have reduced wait times, it is estimated that up to 500,000 children are still waiting for an NHS autism or ADHD assessment. We won’t rest until this comes down.
• We want to build new services to support families and children diagnosed with autism or ADHD who feel lost after their assessments when the NHS is no longer there for them.

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing Talent team as we continue to accelerate our hiring and launch new clinical services, including most recently children’s ADHD.

Alongside the wider talent team, you’ll hire for roles across our Clinical and Support Functions, including Product & Engineering, Operations, Marketing, Commercial, Finance, Business Intelligence and People.

You’ll help shape how we attract, assess, and hire exceptional talent during a period of rapid expansion. Alongside this, you will contribute to innovation across our hiring processes by building scalable systems that enable growth at pace and with precision. Your work will have a measurable impact on the number of children we can support and the quality of care we deliver.

With success in this role, you can progress to ‘Senior’ Talent Partner and ‘Lead’ with time.

About you

You’re a highly consultative Talent Partner with a real, infectious passion for finding the right individual for any role. You thrive in mission-driven, fast-scaling environments where you are hiring at a high volume (between 5 and 10 roles a month).

You’re energised by speaking to people, getting them excited about our mission, and innovating our talent experience, including streamlining processes, elevating quality, and creating a memorable candidate experience.

Ideally, you bring prior experience in hiring for our high-volume roles in clinical or product & engineering, ensuring you can make a fast impact on our hiring. Above all, we are looking for someone who cares deeply about our mission and can attract talent with pace and rigour.
