The Role

About You
We're looking for a warm, compassionate, and experienced clinician who is passionate about improving the lives of adults with ADHD. Whether you're a Clinical Psychologist or a Counselling Psychologist. Holding BABCP-accredited CBT qualification would be advantages, but not essential.

You'll enjoy working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams, be keen to share your knowledge through supervision and training, and have a genuine interest in helping shape and develop services. Most importantly, you'll share our commitment to person-centred care, continuous learning, and making a meaningful difference for the communities we serve.
