CYP Clinical Psychologist Autism Assessment Service
£60,000-£66,500 | West Midlands | Full-time
If you enjoy neurodevelopmental work but still want the space to think clinically, formulate properly and contribute meaningfully to diagnostic decisions, this role is worth a look.
You would join a clinician-led neurodevelopmental service supporting children and young people through autism assessment and diagnosis. The emphasis is on robust MDT decision-making, clear formulation and high-quality communication with families, rather than psychology operating as a standalone part of the pathway.
The wider team includes psychology, nursing, SALT, OT and medical colleagues, with senior clinical oversight and structured governance around the diagnostic pathway.
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.
What makes the role different
The job plan gives proper recognition to the work around the assessment itself.
- Around 18-22 hours per week for clinical assessment and feedback.
- 8-10 hours protected for report writing and formulation.
- 3-5 hours for MDT work, supervision, governance and audit.
- Dedicated time for liaison and administration.
You will bring psychological expertise into developmental history, formulation, use of validated assessment tools and MDT diagnostic discussion, while integrating information from home, education and previous records.
There is also scope to contribute to wider neurodevelopmental work over time, depending on your experience, competence and service need.
