Job overview

Are you passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people? Do you have the clinical knowledge, decision-making skills, and compassion needed to ensure children and families receive the right support at the right time?

We are seeking a Clinical Prioritiser to join our Children's ADHD Service, playing a pivotal role within our multi-disciplinary team. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and develop a responsive, equitable, and family-centred service while supporting children and young people throughout their ADHD assessment and intervention journey.

Main duties of the job

As a Clinical Prioritiser, you will review, triage, and process referrals into the Children's ADHD Service using electronic patient records (RIO) and other relevant systems. You will ensure referrals are managed consistently, fairly, and within agreed timescales, helping children, young people, and their families access the most appropriate care and support.

Working closely with colleagues across health, education, social care, and partner agencies, you will use your clinical judgement to identify needs, prioritise referrals, and signpost families to the right services at the right time.

You will also proactively monitor waiting lists and identify children and young people whose circumstances, risks, or support needs may have changed, ensuring appropriate escalation for MDT discussion and intervention when required.

Working for our organisation

We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you’ll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 5,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
