About the Role
We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated, and compassionate Assistant Psychologist to join our Neurodevelopmental Pathway team, supporting the assessment and care of children, young people, and adults with neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and related presentations.
This is an exciting opportunity for a psychology graduate looking to build hands-on experience in a specialist clinical setting within a multidisciplinary team that includes psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists.
Working under the supervision of a Senior Clinical Psychologist, you will play a vital role in the smooth delivery of high-quality assessments and care. You will assist with clinical history-taking, preparation and scoring of standardised assessments, and coordination of client appointments, helping to ensure that every stage of the assessment process is delivered with professionalism, empathy, and attention to detail.
This role offers excellent exposure to clinical practice, structured supervision, and opportunities for professional growth. It is ideally suited to those aspiring to pursue further training in clinical, counselling, or educational psychology.
This role is a part time position working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday on site at Schoen Clinic Chelsea.
Skills & requirements
We are looking for a committed, detail-focused, and empathetic person with a strong interest in neurodevelopmental psychology and a genuine dedication to enhancing the lives of clients and their families.
You should possess a BSc (Hons) in Psychology (meeting the requirements for Graduate Basis for Chartership with the British Psychological Society) and have prior experience working with children, young people, or adults in mental health, educational, or clinical settings. You must have a solid understanding of confidentiality, safeguarding, and data protection in clinical environments and be able to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
Experience in Neurodevelopmental psychology and ADOS training is advantageous, but if you lack this, we still encourage you to apply, as we can provide the necessary training.
