Adult ASD Assessor

Adult Autism Assessor and Reviewer £46,148-£55,504 FTE | West Midlands | Hybrid | Full-time or part-time

If you are experienced in adult autism assessment and want a role where there is proper clinical oversight, MDT input and time to make considered diagnostic decisions, this is worth a look.

You will join an established, clinician-led neurodevelopmental service delivering adult autism assessments through a multidisciplinary model, alongside wider ADHD and CYP pathways.

The role is focused on good diagnostic practice rather than simply increasing assessment volume. You will have responsibility for structured assessments, reviewing developmental history, functional impact, co-occurring needs and risk, before bringing more complex cases into MDT discussion.

There is senior clinical oversight from a Consultant Psychiatrist and Clinical Lead, with support from colleagues across psychology, nursing, SALT, OT and the wider neurodevelopmental team.

What the role offers.

• Permanent employment with full-time or part-time options.
• Hybrid working across agreed parts of the assessment pathway.
• A multidisciplinary environment with clear clinical governance.
• Scope to contribute to audit, quality improvement and how the pathway develops.
• The opportunity to support induction and teaching for other clinicians.
• A service focused on person-centred assessment and clear, clinically useful outcomes.

Who they are looking for.

You will need recent UK adult autism assessment experience and an appropriate professional registration. The service can consider:

• NMC-registered Nurses.
• GPhC-registered Clinical Pharmacists with Independent Prescriber annotation.
• GMC-registered GPs.
• Other HCPC-registered clinicians with a mental health specialism.

You should also have a working knowledge of ADOS-2-informed practice, safeguarding and risk, alongside strong written communication and the ability to manage a clinical caseload effectively.
