ADHD and autism assessment jobs in the UK

    Diagnostic and post-diagnostic neurodevelopmental work is the fastest growing part of UK private practice. These are the three routes in, with what each one requires and pays.

    The short answer

    ADHD and autism roles in the UK split into diagnostic work, which needs a regulated clinical registration, and therapeutic or post-diagnostic support, which needs an accredited therapy qualification. Both are widely available remotely.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need to be a psychiatrist to assess ADHD in the UK?

    No. ADHD assessment is carried out by psychiatrists, but also by clinical psychologists and suitably trained specialist nurses working within a defined clinical governance framework. Prescribing medication does require a prescriber.

    Can ADHD assessment work be done remotely?

    Yes. Most UK private ADHD assessments are delivered by video, with rating scales and collateral history collected beforehand. Many roles are fully remote or one clinic day a week.

    What is the difference between an ADHD assessor and an ADHD therapist?

    An assessor reaches a diagnostic conclusion. A therapist supports the person afterwards with strategies, coaching-style structure and treatment for co-occurring anxiety or low mood, and does not diagnose.
