We are working with a service that is seeing continued demand for complex ADHD assessments and is looking to bring in an experienced Psychologist to support both assessment delivery and MDT input. This role would suit a clinician based in or around Sheffield who is confident working across both children and adults, with flexibility to attend on site when required.

What the role will involve:
• Completing complex ADHD assessments across both child and adult pathways
• Reviewing triage information completed by an Assistant Psychologist before assessment
• Contributing to MDT discussions, ideally on the same day as the assessment
• Supporting clinical decision making and report review within agreed service timeframes

Requirements:
• HCPC registration as a Practitioner Psychologist

Working pattern:
Assessments may require on site attendance in the Sheffield area, so applicants should be based locally or within a commutable distance. MDTs can be completed remotely, with the service ideally needing daily availability for either 1pm to 2pm or 4pm to 5pm. Reports will be generated following assessment and discussed within MDT, typically within 24 hours.
