  • Current registration with the relevant professional body: Occupational Therapists: Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) Speech and Language Therapists: Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT)
  • Current, valid Enhanced DBS certificate (on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain prior to commencement)
  • Current professional indemnity and public liability insurance (minimum £2 million cover)
  • Registration with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
  • Minimum 2 years post-HCPC registration experience, including neurodiversity assessment experience
  • Formal training and demonstrated competence in ADOS-2 and ADI-R administration and interpretation
  • Experience delivering remote/virtual assessments to children (7+) and/or adults
  • Experience producing comprehensive neurodiversity assessment reports, including recommendations and reasonable accommodations
  • Experience providing post-diagnostic feedback to individuals and families
  • Experience working as part of a multidisciplinary assessment team
  • Strong knowledge of NICE guidelines (NG142, NG228, NG87), DSM-5 and ICD-11 diagnostic criteria relevant to Autism and ADHD
  • Knowledge of co-occurring conditions (e.g. anxiety, learning disabilities, developmental trauma) and their interaction with neurodevelopmental presentations
  • Knowledge of safeguarding and risk frameworks relevant to children, young people and adults in the UK
  • Knowledge of the Equality Act 2010 and its application to reasonable adjustments
  • Confidence working in an online/digital format
  • Ability to work independently and manage own caseload and administration as a self-employed practitioner

Desirable:

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
