We are delighted to be advertising a full-time, permanent Assistant Psychology post within the Cheyne Child Development Service (CCDS). We are looking for a psychology graduate who is keen to develop their skills in the area of child development and neurodiversity.
This post will be based mainly at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital but may involve some work at our other clinical site in White City. You will be joining a well-established team of clinical psychologists, working as part of our wider multidisciplinary child development team.
The post holder will support the clinical psychology team in their assessment and intervention work with children/young people with neurodevelopmental difficulties (e.g. autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities), and their families. There will be opportunities to be involved in undertaking specialist diagnostic assessments, to work with families as part of our pre-assessment support offer, and to facilitate post-diagnostic groups. There will also be opportunities to get involved with service audit/evaluation and service development projects.
Previous experience in the area of child development/neurodiversity is desirable however applications are welcomed from candidates who are interested and motivated to engage in this area of clinical work. Supervision and support will be provided by a clinical psychologist within the team.
To support the work of the Clinical Psychology Team in their assessment and intervention work with children who have neurodevelopmental difficulties and their families.

The areas we cover have varying socio-economic need as well as diverse cultural populations. The post is within a multi-disciplinary team which operates within a wider multi-agency context, that includes CAMHS, Social Services, Education, other Local Authority services and voluntary agencies. Assessment and therapeutic input will be provided within clinics, community resources such as nurseries & schools and within clients’ homes depending on the nature of the work being undertaken. The populations served are ethnically diverse, where consideration of cultural difference and influences is crucial in the assessment of children’s disabilities.
The Central and North West London NHS Trust (CNWL) is responsible for the provision of Child and Adolescent Mental health Services (CAMHS) to the populations of Brent, Hillingdon, Harrow, Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster, as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to other Trusts and Agencies, and to a wider regional catchment area.
