Self-Employed Children and Young People ADHD Prescriber - Remote in London

This application form is specifically for clinicians who want to join The Centre for ADHD Research & Excellence as a self-employed Prescriber, and are able to attend our in-person training and sign-off in January, February and March 2026 in Canary Wharf. Please note there are a limited number of spaces available. Invite to attend will be subject to successful application and requirements set out below:

• Submit all the required documentation (including DBS, professional registration, references, indemnity insurance)
• Join 2 remote Care ADHD training sessions before the event
• Come to our Canary Wharf office to complete the in-person training, and deliver your first (fully supervised) titration clinic

The event will include a breakfast meet and greet, complimentary lunch and an opportunity to network with peers and colleagues from Care ADHD and Cresco Clinic.

After successful completion of the training, and sign-off following the delivery of your first supervised titration clinic, your application for a CD Pin will be processed and you’ll spend a couple of weeks familiarising yourself with our systems by supporting in our Clinical Care Hub whilst you await the arrival of your CD Pin. Once your PIN arrives, your prescription pads will be issued and you’ll start delivering clinics.

You will be well supported after sign-off by our Clinical and Associate Experience teams, and you will benefit from ongoing supervision and training opportunities through our MDTs and Clinical Supervision structure. There is a big demand for our services, and we're passionate about looking after all associates with the same care we provide to our patients and existing team. So, if you're ready for a new way of working - one with huge opportunity where you're in control of when and where you work - apply now!

At the Cresco Clinic (part of The Centre for ADHD Research & Excellence), we’re revolutionising ADHD care by making assessments and treatment more accessible for everyone.

We are looking for dedicated and meticulous Self-Employed CYP ADHD Prescriber to join our dynamic team. This is a unique opportunity to join a brand new service right at the point of launching - with the security of an already successful and rapidly scaling adult service behind it. We’re a passionate team of changemakers, committed to a culture built on transparency, support, and continuous growth. We are solution seekers, and we work hard to safeguard the respectful and supportive culture that makes The Centre for ADHD Research & Excellence (Care ADHD) a great place to grow and thrive. If you're ready to contribute to a mission that transforms ADHD care, we want to hear from you!

• Support the preparation and submission of clinic letters and shared care requests to GPs on behalf of the patient and their guardians, following Cresco Clinic process and procedures as part of the Titration process.

Your expertise will not only enhance the quality of care we provide but also contribute to building a welcoming and effective environment for children and young people and their guardians seeking support.

We’re looking for someone who’s not just clinically skilled but also adaptable and comfortable working in a dynamic environment. You will also need:

Care is at the heart of who we are - in how we support the people we serve, and in how we treat each other as colleagues. We believe the way we show up for each other is just as important as what we do. Skills matter, but it’s our mindset and behaviours that protect the supportive culture we’ve built, and help us thrive together. We value:

• Kindness - treating colleagues, partners, and everyone we support, with respect and care.
• Transparency - being open and honest so that trust can grow.
• Reflection - pausing to learn from experience and improve together.
• Growth mindset - always welcoming feedback and challenges as opportunities to develop.
• Accountability - taking ownership of our actions and outcomes, not to assign blame, but to learn, adapt, improve, and move forward.
• Solution-seeking - focusing on constructive ways forward, even when things are tough.
• Collaboration - sharing ideas, supporting one another, and celebrating collective success.

We aim to make our application process as streamlined as possible. Shortlisted clinicians are invited to a Competency Call with our Talent Acquisition team - this will include a brief IT competency task. Successful clinicians will then be required to submit all the necessary documentation (including DBS, professional registration, references, indemnity insurance). Once all necessary documentation is received and processed, you’ll be invited to attend two online training sessions. This training must be completed before clinicians can join the in-person event and be signed off to deliver clinic. Once clinicians have successfully completed the online training, they’ll attend the in-person event where they’ll receive further training, and deliver a supervised clinic as part of the sign-off process.

Studies show that men apply for roles when they meet around 60% of the qualifications, whereas women and other marginalised groups often apply only if they meet every requirement. If you believe you’re a great fit but don’t meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply! At Care ADHD, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, especially those from historically marginalised communities, as we work together to create a more equitable future.

At CARE ADHD, we're revolutionising private healthcare by making ADHD assessments and treatment more affordable and accessible to those who need it. Our client-centred approach, combined with lean methodology and a focus on continuous improvement, drives our commitment to excellence. We embrace an innovative mindset, encouraging rapid learning and adaptation through our 'fail fast' ethos. With ambitious plans to become the largest ADHD service provider outside the NHS within the next five years, we are committed to pushing boundaries and fostering innovation.
