Sort delivers ADHD services differently.
As a not-for-profit social enterprise, all profits from our services are reinvested directly into healthcare services for vulnerable people. Our growing service requires clinicians with experience in assessing and managing ADHD in adults and young people, providing remote and/or face-to-face support to our expanding group of service users.
We aim to provide exceptional care and support to everyone who accesses our services, with dedicated clinical and support time for each service user, while enabling colleagues to deliver gold-standard care.
We are seeking experienced ADHD clinicians to assess, diagnose, and support the management of ADHD in adults.
You can work as many or as few hours as you like and will be paid for each assessment you complete.
If you want to make a meaningful difference to the lives of service users while contributing to vital healthcare services for vulnerable people, rather than generating profit for others, this could be the role for you.
Main duties of the job
You will be part of a small team providing assessment and management of patients with ADHD. Work can be completed either remotely in your own home, or in one of our city centre bases in Leeds or Bradford.
About us
Sort is part of Bevan, a Community Benefit Society that has delivered NHS and inclusion health services in West Yorkshire since 2011 and holds a CQC Outstanding rating. Sort is a self funded service, its built on the same values, compassion, fairness, and putting people before systems.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
From the beginning, Sort has been shaped through coproduction. We worked alongside ADHD organisations, advocates, and people with lived experience to understand what works, what causes harm, and what's missing from existing pathways.
That collaborative approach continues to guide how our services develop.
We charge fair, transparent prices and reinvest any surplus into Bevans inclusion health work, supporting people who are homeless, seeking asylum, or excluded from mainstream care. Sort exists to support the NHS, not compete with it.
At its heart, Sort is about clarity, care, and confidence, helping people feel heard, understood, and supported to move forward in a way that works for them.
