Why this role exists
Vertis Health is seeking an experienced Clinical Psychologist to join our growing Children & Young People's ADHD Assessment Service. This is an exciting opportunity to work within a supportive multidisciplinary team delivering high-quality, evidence-based ADHD assessments in line with NICE guidance and best practice.
You'll play a key role in helping children and young people gain greater understanding of their needs, providing expert psychological assessment, formulation and diagnostic input that directly shapes positive outcomes and future support.
At Vertis Health, we are committed to clinical excellence, innovation and compassionate care. We offer a collaborative environment where your expertise is valued and where you can contribute to the continued development of high-quality neurodevelopmental services.
About the Service
The CYP ADHD service is one of four Mental Health & Neurodevelopmental Services offered by Vertis Health:
Adult ADHD – assessment and ongoing clinical reviews, with medication titration delivered under appropriate prescribing governance and shared care with GPs where agreed.
Adult ASD – diagnostic assessment pathway delivered through an MDT model.
Children and Young People (CYP) ADHD – an assessment and diagnosis pathway (with onward treatment and medication pathways subject to commissioning and wider system arrangements).
Children and Young People (CYP) ASD – a diagnostic assessment pathway delivered through a multidisciplinary model, aligned to national guidance and local commissioning arrangements.
The postholder will be working primarily within the Children & Young People’s ADHD service and its commissioned scope and agreed clinical governance arrangements, contributing to pathway improvement without over-promising provision outside current remit. From time to time however, you may have opportunities to collaborate with colleagues elsewhere across these four services, particularly the CYP ASD service—as these services work in tandem as a combined CYP service area.
Diagnostic assessments are delivered face-to-face at our Redditch HQ or a similar Worcestershire location. The service is open to eligible patients aged 6-17 who are registered with a Worcestershire GP.
Location:
38 Kenilworth Close, Crabbs Cross, Redditch, B97 5JX
