Band 8a Clinical Psychologist
We are excited to offer this full-time position of Band 8a Clinical Psychologist in our new Autism and Social Communication Assessment pathway. This post is based at Edgware Hospital in Barnet.
We are looking for an experienced Clinical Psychologist with considerable prior experience in autism assessment and diagnosis in children 0-6. Candidates will be ADOS-2 trained and have significant experience in multidisciplinary neurodevelopmental assessment clinics, working with paediatricians, SLTs, OTs, psychologists, and other clinicians.
This is a new multidisciplinary team which is designed to provide a needs-led, family-centred approach to assessment and diagnosis for children aged 0-6 with neurodivergent needs in Barnet.
We have a strong commitment to supervision, CPD, and joint working with a range of other agencies and professionals.
The successful candidate will assess children aged 0-6 for possible autism using the ADOS-2 and/or other appropriate assessment tools, interview parents/carers, liaise with schools, and formulate with other members of the MDT to consider the correct outcome for the child. You will give families feedback about the outcome of assessments, discuss post-diagnostic support, and write high-quality clinical reports.
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.
The post-holder will also provide clinical supervision to two band 5 Assistant Psychologists in the service. You will contribute to service improvement, audit, and research. You will also be involved in triaging incoming referrals and helping oversee cases with safeguarding or risk elements.
The position requires you to work flexibly within an interdisciplinary framework, engaging with various professionals in a multidisciplinary and multi-agency environment. This includes collaboration with community providers, speech and language therapists (SLTs), occupational therapists (OTs), other psychologists, paediatricians, physiotherapists, and other allied health professionals, as well as Experts by Experience (parents/families of neurodivergent children). The aim is to provide a holistic approach in communicating and sharing advice, information, and plans to all relevant parties and family.
