CYP ADHD Assessment Clinician £45,000 – £55,000 per annum + NHS-aligned pension, CPD & study leave Worcester WR5 / Redditch B98 hubs
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 elevate 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
Essential:
- 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
Desirable:
- Experience of audit, service improvement, or pathway refinement
- Experience within high-volume assessment pathways or Right to Choose models
What’s on offer
- £45,000 – £55,000 depending on experience
- 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
