ADOS Autism Assessor – Children & Young People | Exeter / Norwich 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. The Role 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 Hours & Working Arrangements 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. What You'll Need • 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 Desirable: • Experience conducting risk assessments within an autism assessment service, • Safeguarding training Level 3 or above What's on Offer For employed roles: • £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, • 5% employer pension contribution, • 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 For self-employed roles: • £300–£350 per observation (depending on experience), • Travel costs covered if you live more than 30 minutes from clinic, • Accommodation covered if you live more than 2 hours away Why This Role Stands Out 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. 📩 Interested?
