Growing Minds is looking for an experienced Psychologist with a strong interest or background in neurodivergence and autism to work with us on a flexible, freelance basis as our assessment service grows.
Growing Minds is a supportive, neuro-affirming service working with children, young people and families. We are passionate about providing thoughtful, individualised support and ensuring that families feel listened to and understood throughout their journey with us.
We are now looking to expand our clinical team and would love to build an ongoing relationship with a Psychologist who shares our values and would be interested in taking on additional work alongside their existing commitments.
The Role
You would work alongside our existing clinicians as part of our autism assessment pathway, reviewing individual cases and contributing appropriate psychiatric/medical expertise to the multidisciplinary assessment process which includes ADOS-based assessments.
Work will be offered on a case-by-case basis so there are no fixed weekly hours. The volume of work is likely to fluctuate initially with the potential for the number of cases to increase as Growing Minds continues to develop its assessment service. This could, therefore, suit someone working within the NHS, independently or in another clinical role who is looking for flexible additional work without committing to set hours.
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.
We are particularly interested in hearing from someone who:
- Is a GMC-registered Psychologist with appropriate license to practice.
- Has relevant experience working with autism, neurodevelopmental conditions and/or neurodivergent children and young people.
- Has experience contributing to multidisciplinary autism assessments and understands current diagnostic standards and guidance.
- Is comfortable reviewing clinical information and contributing their professional opinion as part of the assessment process.
- Takes a compassionate, neuro-affirming and person-centred approach.
- Is comfortable working independently and remotely as part of a wider clinical team.
- Would be interested in developing an ongoing working relationship with Growing Minds as the service expands.

What we can offer
This is a self-employed/freelance associate opportunity with payment agreed on a per-case basis. There are no set hours, allowing the work to fit around your existing professional commitments.
Initially, case numbers may vary but we are looking for someone who is interested in growing with us rather than simply completing a one-off piece of work. As our assessment provision develops, there may be scope for a greater volume of cases and further involvement with the service.
Most importantly, you would be joining a small, friendly and genuinely passionate team that wants to provide families with a positive, respectful and clinically robust assessment experience.
Interested?
We’d love to have an informal conversation about your experience, availability and how working with Growing Minds could fit alongside your existing commitments.
Please get in touch with a brief overview of your experience and current work and we can arrange an informal chat.
