Colchester, United Kingdom East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a well-established and knowledgeable multi-professional team, specialising in the assessment and management of children with neurodivergent conditions.

We are looking for a skilled and motivated professional for a two year fixed term contract until 28.02.2026 to provide specialist support to the community paediatrics service, assisting with an existing caseload of children who are awaiting assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) including those with co-morbidities across North East Essex. They will work as part of a multi-professional team to ensure that children receive the highest standard of care and support.

You will provide specialist support to the community paediatrics service, assisting with an existing caseload of children who are awaiting assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) including those with co-morbidities across North East Essex. They will work as part of a multi-professional team to ensure that children receive the highest standard of care and support.

Working across acute and community boundaries, the post holder will assist in the diagnostic pathway (including supporting with new patient assessments) for children primarily with suspected Autism and ADHD when required. This will include completion of school and nursery observations, performing ADOS assessments and supporting with the post diagnosis patient follow ups. The post holder will be required to adapt their role to meet the demands of the service at their manager’s discretion.

You will give advice and support in an area which requires specific knowledge, skills and experience which will include the development of guidelines, specialist protocols and education programmes.

We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients’ own homes.

We are the largest NHS organisation in East Anglia, employing more than 12,000 staff.

We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options.

Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services.

Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.

We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients.

If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
