We are seeking experienced clinicians to join our team as ADHD Clinical Assessors,
working on a self-employed, ad-hoc basis, to support our Children & Young People
ADHD assessment service.
The role involves undertaking clinical ADHD assessments and reaching diagnostic

Responsibilities:
Undertake clinical ADHD assessments for children and young people in line with NICE
guidance and service protocols
Gather, review and integrate information from multiple sources
Formulate and record diagnostic conclusions within the ADHD assessment pathway
Communicate assessment outcomes clearly and sensitively to children, young people
and their families
Prepare and submit high-quality diagnostic reports within agreed timeframes
Contribute to MDT discussions where required to support care planning and onward
recommendations
Maintain accurate, timely and confidential clinical records
Work in line with all Skylight Psychiatry policies, procedures and core values
Join Slack, the platform used by the team to communicate service updates and key

Registration with a relevant professional body, with no restrictions on practice
Demonstrable experience conducting ADHD diagnostic assessments with children and
young people
Strong understanding of child development and neurodevelopmental presentations

Excellent communication skills, particularly when working with families
Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a wider service
framework
Confidence in conducting assessments virtually
Remuneration and Practical Arrangements:

appointment(s), report writing and MDT contribution where required)
This role is offered on a self-employed basis; the postholder is responsible for their own
tax and national insurance arrangements
Assessments are delivered primarily virtually, with face-to-face assessments agreed in
advance where required
Clinic room bookings for in-person appointments will be managed by our administrative
