Clinical Lead (Neurodiversity Services) in North East

Hybrid – ideally based near Durham or Teesside. I have the pleasure of partnering with a genuinely values‑led organisation where people truly matter. You’ll be joining a supportive, purpose driven team that champions innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning, a place where your expertise is respected, your wellbeing is prioritised, and you’re encouraged to shape and grow services that make a real difference.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced clinician with a passion for neurodiversity to build and lead a Neurodiversity Workplace Assessment Service within an established Occupational Health environment, while also providing clinical leadership and governance support.

• Service development & innovation (2–3 days per week) — designing and embedding a new neurodiversity workplace assessment service
• Clinical leadership & governance (1–2 days per week) — supporting the Registered Manager with CQC compliance, quality oversight, and clinical supervision

You’ll act as the organisation’s clinical SME for neurodiversity, influencing best practice, supporting colleagues, and helping organisations better understand and support neurodivergent employees.

• Designing clinical pathways, assessment models, and practical workplace adjustment recommendations
• Shaping how neurodiversity assessments are delivered (virtual, on‑site, hybrid)
• Providing specialist advice to clinicians, OH teams, and clients
• Supporting governance activity including audits, inspections, and quality improvement
• Coaching and supervising clinicians and contributing to a culture of safe, reflective practice
• Building relationships internally and externally to support service growth

You’ll be supported by an established OH service, a Registered Manager, and wider operational and governance teams, with protected time to focus on service development.

• A relevant clinical qualification (HCPC / NMC registered or equivalent)
• Strong experience working with neurodivergent individuals
• A solid understanding of functional impact and reasonable adjustments
• Confidence to influence, guide, and develop practice
• An interest in service development, even if you haven’t led one end‑to‑end before
• Experience in OH, workplace assessments, or service start‑up is helpful but not essential.

This is a brilliant opportunity to step into a role with real influence, autonomy, and purpose, shaping services that improve working lives for neurodivergent people while continuing to practise strong, values‑led clinical leadership.
