What you'd be doing 

The role involves managing a multidisciplinary team comprising of psychology professionals, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, paediatricians, and assistant psychologists. It also includes being part of the management team responsible for overseeing comprehensive specialist assessments, including diagnostic evaluations for individuals with suspected Autism and/or ADHD using established diagnostic tools. These assessments are conducted on behalf of the NHS through Right to Choose. Key responsibilities include managing the multidisciplinary team, acting as a point of contact for all matters related to the daily operations of the local service, and ensuring familiarity with all assessment resources and components to guide other clinicians effectively. The role also involves monitoring contract mobilisation and service delivery, overseeing the local implementation of company strategy, and tracking contract and local key performance indicators (KPIs).

Clinical governance is a crucial aspect, requiring an overview of all current assessment cases to ensure clear leadership, structured plans, and efficient case management. Additionally, the role includes problem-solving issues within the clinic, such as clinician absences and case reallocation, as well as supporting newer team members in their transition, skill development, and overall integration. Identifying and addressing clinic process inefficiencies, developing new resources, and collaborating with senior leadership to implement improvements are also key responsibilities. The role further entails escalating and resolving issues with senior leadership, attending company events and management meetings, and identifying training needs for teams and individuals, signposting these to senior leadership for further discussion and action.
