Aberdeen City HSCP is seeking a clinician to join our emerging, community-owned neurodevelopmental pathway for children and families across Aberdeen City. This is a great opportunity to help shape a neuro-affirming, strengths-based model that prioritises early identification and timely, coordinated support in universal and community settings, reducing reliance on specialist diagnostic pathways. You will work as part of an AHP-led multidisciplinary consultation approach within a “team around the child” model, partnering with education, health and third-sector colleagues to build shared understanding, support inclusive environments, and improve outcomes for children and families.
In this role, you will:
- Provide clinical input
- Contribute to collaborative narrative-building with children, families and professionals
- Strengthen processes for gathering assessment evidence to enable consistent, high-quality decision-making during the Test of Change period
You will also help develop and deliver workforce learning in neuro-affirming practice, drawing on national resources including the Scottish Government’s National Neurodevelopmental Specification, and learning from the National Autism Implementation Team (NAIT) and Public Services Delivery (PSD).
Our service values:
- Ongoing CPD
- A robust clinical supervision process
- A quality improvement approach to service development
We work with multi-agency colleagues across the partnership and wider services on shared priorities and transformational change, including modernising pathways, improving clinical effectiveness, and delivering person-centred care, with a strong focus on prevention and tackling health inequalities. We also participate in student training.
Requirements:
- Must be a car driver and hold a full driving licence
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.
If you are a registered clinician with experience of working with neurodivergent children and young people (or a strong commitment to developing this), and a passion for co-produced, system-wide improvement, we would love to hear from you.
