Posted by CAMHS Professionals

Are you an experienced ADOS-trained clinician looking to make a real impact on children's autism care?

We're recruiting on behalf of an exciting, fast-growing neurodevelopmental healthcare provider for ADOS Autism Assessors to join their multidisciplinary teams in Exeter and Norwich
.

This is a genuinely different kind of clinical role — working within a gold-standard autism assessment pathway, supported by innovative technology designed to reduce admin burden and let you focus on what you do best: supporting children and families.

You’ll work as part of a multidisciplinary assessment team, delivering:

• In-person child observations at clinic
• Peer MDT diagnostic decision-making, with senior clinical support where required

Full-time is preferred, though part-time is available (minimum 3 days per week, with flexibility for 1 day remote). Both employed and self-employed arrangements are on offer — please specify your preference when applying.

• Active registration with HCPC, NMC, or Social Work England (Psychologist, Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapist, Nurse, or Social Worker)
• Completion of a recognised ADOS-2 course (Clinical Psychologists may be considered without this)
• At least 1 year of experience delivering children’s observations within an autism assessment process (ages 2–18)
• Strong time management and caseload management skills
• Excellent communication skills with parents and patients
• Enhanced DBS with barred list check
• Experience conducting risk assessments within an autism assessment service
• Safeguarding training Level 3 or above

• £68,000–£72,000 per year (depending on experience)
• 34 days annual leave (including bank holidays and your birthday)
• Option to buy an additional 5 days per year
• 10 days paid sabbatical every 3 years of service
• Private medical insurance & Employee Assistance Programme
• Professional registration fees covered
• Home office equipment allowance
• Share options (for those working 32+ hours per week)
• NHS / Blue Light Card discounts
• Protected CPD time, clinical supervision, and clear career progression pathways

• Travel costs covered if you live more than 30 minutes from clinic
• Accommodation covered if you live more than 2 hours away

This provider is clinically-led, CQC-registered, and outcomes-focused. They invest heavily in staff wellbeing, career development, and building a genuine team culture — with protected training days, quarterly development conversations, and a clear pathway to senior and cross-specialty roles.
