This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a developing multidisciplinary service designed to improve access to ADHD assessment, support and ongoing care for adults within primary care.

Working alongside GPs with Extended Roles (GPwERs), Non-Medical Prescribers and wider primary care teams, the successful candidate will play a key role in supporting patients through a needs-led approach to ADHD care and support.

  • Support patients to access appropriate services, resources and community support.
  • Work collaboratively with primary care, secondary care and partner organisations.
