Neurofer is a specialist neurodevelopmental assessment provider focused on high-quality Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessments for children, young people and adults. We are expanding our consultant psychiatrist capacity to strengthen clinical leadership across our assessment pathways and support complex presentations where psychiatric expertise is needed. This is a flexible contractor role within a neurodevelopmental clinic — not a general psychiatry hospital post.
Key responsibilities.
Work is primarily remote, with face-to-face clinics available in some locations. Caseload centres on ADHD and Autism pathways.
Provide specialist psychiatric assessment and diagnostic formulation for ADHD and/or Autism across age groups within Neurofer's pathways.
Review complex referral information, collateral history and pre-assessment materials.
Deliver clear, accurate, evidence-based clinical reports suitable for patients, families and referrers.
Offer diagnostic feedback and explain findings in plain, supportive language.
Contribute clinical judgement on complex or ambiguous neurodevelopmental presentations.
Work collaboratively with Neurofer's assessors and multidisciplinary colleagues.
Practise in line with NICE guidance, safeguarding requirements, clinical governance and GMC professional standards.
Participate in clinical supervision, CPD and quality assurance processes.
