Contract  |  CAMHS Professionals  |  Nationwide  |  

Your diagnostic skills are specialist. Your next contract should be too. 

CAMHS Professionals are specialist mental health recruiters, and we’re always looking for qualified ADI-R and ADOS-2 assessors to join our nationwide network of CAMHS specialists on a contract basis. If you’re trained and experienced in gold-standard autism diagnostic assessment for children and young people, we want to hear from you. 

What the role actually looks like 

• CAMHS neurodevelopmental assessment services 

• Specialist autism diagnostic clinics 

• Tier 3 community CAMHS teams with ASD pathways 

• Independent and NHS diagnostic services 

• Multi-agency neurodevelopmental hubs 

Day-to-day responsibilities will include: 

• Conducting ADI-R (Autism Diagnostic Interview — Revised) with parents and carers of children referred for autism assessment 

• Administering and scoring the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) with children and young people across modules 

• Integrating ADI-R and ADOS-2 findings with wider clinical information to contribute to diagnostic formulations 

• Participating in diagnostic consensus meetings with MDT colleagues including psychiatrists, psychologists, and speech and language therapists 

• Producing detailed, high-quality written diagnostic reports to agreed standards and timescales 

• Communicating diagnostic outcomes sensitively and clearly to young people, families, and carers 

• Supporting post-diagnostic pathways including signposting to appropriate services and resources 

• Maintaining accurate clinical records and documentation in line with professional standards 

• Contributing to peer supervision, quality assurance, and service development 

What we need from you —

Essential: 

• Relevant professional registration (NMC, HCPC, or BPS) — we welcome applications from nurses, psychologists, SLTs, and other qualified clinicians 

• Formal training in ADI-R administration and scoring (training certificate required) 

• Formal training in ADOS-2 administration and scoring across relevant modules (training certificate required) 

• Demonstrable experience conducting autism assessments in a CAMHS or neurodevelopmental setting 

• Strong report writing skills — ability to produce clear, detailed diagnostic reports 

• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain) 

• Up-to-date mandatory training including safeguarding children Level 2+ 

Desirable (but not always required): 

• Experience with co-occurring presentations such as ADHD, anxiety, or learning disability 

• Competency in additional neurodevelopmental assessment tools (e.g. ABAS, VABS, cognitive assessments) 

• Experience presenting at diagnostic feedback meetings and supporting families post-diagnosis 

• Supervisory experience in autism assessment or neurodevelopmental pathways 

• Knowledge of local and national autism diagnostic frameworks and waiting list pressures 

What you’ll get from us: 

• Specialist contract rates that reflect your diagnostic training and expertise 

• Flexible contract lengths to suit your schedule 

• A dedicated recruiter who understands neurodevelopmental assessment — not just mental health generally 

• Fast onboarding and compliance support 

• Access to ADI-R/ADOS assessment contracts not widely advertised 

• Ongoing support throughout your placement
