Deputy Clinical Academy Lead for our Children and Young Peoples Autism Assessment Services About Paloma Health We aim to provide families with high-quality NHS mental health care within 4 weeks of GP referral. Our first service, children and young peoples autism assessments, went live in November 2024, and we are launching childrens ADHD assessments and treatment in the summer of 2025. We were founded as we dont think it is right that families are waiting 2-10 years for NHS childrens autism and ADHD assessments, and this crisis has recently been highlighted by the Childrens Commissioner for England: https://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/blog/childrens-commissioner-warns-of-invisible-crisis-as-delays-and-inequalities-laid-bare-among-children-with-neurodevelopmental-conditions/ Neurodiversity services are our first step in tackling all NHS specialist care waiting lists. We will launch more NHS services soon, including those for adult autism, ADHD and dementia. How is Paloma different? We are clinically led, and Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered, with a friendly and approachable team We have built our own software platform to: Give our patients a more consumer-like experience of healthcare Free our assessors from admin to focus on patient care Our strong culture, including transparency, a sense of community, and supporting staff career development The experience of our founders (Dr Mark Jenkins & Darshak Shah), who have previously built tech-enabled NHS obesity and ophthalmology services. Combined, their previous companies have treated over 1 million NHS patients in the last 15 years! Being backed by leading healthcare investors (Triple Point Ventures and Heal Capital), allowing us to move fast The Opportunity We're seeking a dynamic and experienced clinician to work alongside our Academy Lead to establish and drive our best practice Academy. This Academy will train and upskill clinicians in autism (and soon ADHD) and their assessment. It will support all of our clinicians, whether they are new to assessments or highly experienced, and we hope that with time, we can offer this as a formal qualification. In addition to training, the person taking on this role will support innovation within our autism assessment pathway working with our wider clinical leadership team, and deliver a small number of autism assessments to ensure they stay close to our patients experience of Paloma.
