About this role
Pulse Healthcare is recruiting for a remote children's autism assessor to work within an established neurodevelopmental service across the UK. You would conduct comprehensive autism assessments with children and young people, lead diagnostic decision-making, write clinical reports, and provide feedback to families. The role offers flexibility between 28 and 40 hours per week on a permanent contract, suiting clinicians who want specialist assessment work without the constraints of office-based practice.
To succeed, you'll need current HCPC or Social Work England registration, at least 12 months of direct experience in autism or neurodevelopmental assessment, and demonstrated competence with ADOS-2. You should be comfortable producing high-quality clinical reports, managing your own caseload independently, and working within a remote service model.
