Time commitment: Full-time employment is preferred, though we can also offer part-time (minimum of 3 days per week).

Location: This is a fully remote role; however, you must permanently reside in the UK throughout your employment with Paloma.

The Opportunity

An exceptional service and timely assessments, as well as clear strengths and needs-based outcomes, regardless of whether an autism diagnosis is made.

As a Senior Assessor, you have the opportunity to focus on delivering direct care. Furthermore, if you have the relevant experience and skills, you can take on an additional responsibility.

For Senior Assessors, additional responsibility options include supporting more complex cases, ensuring quality assurance, providing training, facilitating family engagement, and contributing to pathway development.

From a cultural perspective, you are:

Comfortable working in a dynamic environment and embracing change
Excited about using new technologies in your role
Always looking for ways to improve our staff and patient experience

We commit to supporting your development and well-being, including:

The Paloma Clinical Academy programme supports all clinicians at all stages of their careers to develop (e.g. to our additional responsibility Senior Assessor roles) and cross-skill (e.g. into ADHD when we launch that service).

Clear weekly timetables that support a role mix across appointments, documentation, development, and team building.
