We are looking to recruit a highly motivated Clinical Psychologist with a strong interest in neurodiversity within our Doncaster Neurodevelopmental (ASD & ADHD) assessment pathway.

You will be required to undertake psychological assessments of children up to 18 years, as part of a wider team.
There are strong links with the Clinical Psychology training course at both the University of Sheffield and Hull.
This is an exciting time to be joining this service as the Neurodevelopmental pathways in the Children’s care group have been working closely with our partner agencies to develop a more integrated and multi‑agency/disciplinary service. You will be joining a dynamic and supportive group of psychologists and other professionals who are committed to working within a compassionate framework where your development and well‑being will be prioritised and encouraged.
Experience of assessment and working with ASD and ADHD would be desirable though not essential. Applications are welcomed from recently qualified or soon to qualify Clinical Psychologists as well as established Clinical Psychologists.
The successful candidate is expected to have excellent communication skills and will provide consultation to families, schools and other professional agencies when there is Autism and/or ADHD queries. There will also be a requirement to undertake ADHD and Autism assessments and to consider differential diagnoses. You will have demonstrable experience of working as a clinical psychologist or trainee clinical psychologist and of specialist psychological assessment and interventions of clients across the full range of care settings, along with experience of working in multi‑agency teams and with a wide variety of client groups which reflect the full range of clinical severity. Formulation is key in the service that we provide and it is essential that you can demonstrate the ability to formulate a young person’s strengths and needs. A doctoral level knowledge of research and design and methodology is essential as is the ability to work effectively in a team setting.
