£40 - £55 Per Hour

You will support nursing teams with assessment, treatment decisions, prescribing where within scope, escalation planning and advice.   It is a varied role rather than a traditional clinic list.

Saturday shifts available either 10am–2pm or 2pm–8pm. Genuine autonomous clinical practice within your professional scope. A broad mix of urgent, frailty, rehabilitation and palliative presentations. Opportunity to use prescribing skills rather than working in a narrowly defined assessment role. Work closely with experienced nursing teams, GPs, palliative care, ambulance services and wider community teams.   For independent prescribers, the role includes medication review, medicines optimisation, electronic prescribing and treatment adjustment using clinical and blood results. Non-prescribing practitioners can also be considered where the service model allows, with prescribing recommendations escalated appropriately.   Who they are looking for.

Clinical Psychologist – Adult Autism
West Midlands, United Kingdom
£60000 - £65000 Per Year

Clinical Psychologist – Adult Autism £60,000–£66,500 | West Midlands | Hybrid | Full-time or part-time For a Clinical Psychologist who enjoys neurodevelopmental work but still wants the space for formulation, differential thinking and proper MDT discussion, this is a strong opportunity. You will join a clinician-led adult autism service where psychology is central to diagnostic reasoning. The role covers detailed clinical interviews, developmental history, psychological assessment, formulation and complex differential diagnosis within a governed MDT pathway. You will work alongside psychology, nursing, SLT, OT and senior medical colleagues, with Consultant Psychiatrist and GP clinical oversight available for complex cases and escalation. Why consider it. Psychology has a clear role in diagnostic decision-making, rather than simply delivering one part of an assessment. There is room for proper formulation and differential reasoning across autism, ADHD, mental health, trauma, learning disability and other complex presentations. You will contribute to personalised recommendations and support planning, not simply diagnostic outcomes. The service has defined MDT, supervision, peer review and governance structures. There is scope to contribute to audit, service improvement and supervision of other clinicians. The weekly job plan includes 18–22 hours for clinical assessment and feedback, 8–10 hours for formulation and reporting, and protected MDT, supervision and governance time. You will need HCPC registration as a Practitioner Psychologist and direct experience contributing to adult autism diagnostic assessments within an MDT. ADOS-2, ADI-R and Right to Choose experience are desirable rather than essential. If you want to stay clinically hands-on while working in a service where psychological reasoning is properly valued, get in touch for a confidential discussion on 0203 053 1048 or email jamie@leadersincare.co.uk

Adult Autism Speech & Language Therapist
West Midlands, United Kingdom
£40000 - £50000 Per Year

Adult Autism Speech & Language Therapist £40,000–£50,000 | West Midlands | Hybrid | Full-time or part-time If you want your SLT expertise to play a genuine part in autism diagnosis, rather than sit around the edges of the pathway, this role is worth considering. You will join a multidisciplinary adult autism service where speech, language, communication and social interaction are treated as core parts of diagnostic understanding. Your clinical reasoning will feed directly into MDT discussion, formulation and recommendations for the person being assessed. The service works across psychology, nursing, OT, SLT and senior medical colleagues, with clear clinical oversight and governance. Core diagnostic assessments are face-to-face, with hybrid working available for suitable non-diagnostic elements. What makes the role appealing. Your SLT perspective has a clear place within diagnostic decision-making. You will explore communication across relationships, work, education and everyday life, not just within a clinic room. There is protected time for assessment, report writing, MDT work, supervision and service development. You can contribute to personalised recommendations around communication, reasonable adjustments and onward support. There is scope to support junior clinicians and contribute to how the pathway develops. The job plan includes around 18–22 hours of clinical assessment activity, 8–10 hours for reporting and formulation, and dedicated MDT, supervision and governance time. You will need HCPC registration as a Speech and Language Therapist, alongside significant post-qualification adult experience and confidence assessing communication and social interaction differences. Adult autism pathway experience is desirable rather than essential. If you are looking for an SLT role where your expertise genuinely shapes the diagnostic picture, get in touch for a confidential discussion.
