Clinical Psychologist (ADOS) - Fully Remote

As part of our ASD team, we're looking for several qualified and experienced Clinical Psychologists with full ADOS-2 training and a passion for all things ASD. As part of this team, you'll work with a broad range of clients, conducting comprehensive diagnostic assessments remotely, as well as exercising full clinical responsibility when leading on MDT meetings.

We are looking for clinicians who can commit to working exclusively with The Owl Centre as we want to truly invest in our people! We are open to a variety of working arrangements including:

·         Fixed Term Contract

·         Permanent 

Why work for us?

You'll be part of a truly brilliant team of clinicians, who really care about the work they do. We’re all about quality over quantity.

At The Owl Centre, we pride ourselves on helping families to access the right help and support they need to make their lives better through delivering the best assessment and therapy services for both children and adults. We've got an exceptional team of highly skilled clinicians, including Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, ASD (Autism) Practitioners and ADHD Specialists who work with thousands of families, both through private services and via NHS trusts and local authorities. Thanks to our excellent nationwide reputation, we have become the 'go to' experts for brands such as Netflix, Organix and Aptamil for advice about child development and early communication skills. 

On top of this, you'll be supported by our highly experienced Lead Clinical Psychologists so will have the opportunity to grow and develop your skills, knowledge and experience in a patient-first environment.

What you'll be doing
