We are proud to announce the launch of the Neurodiversity Practitioner Placement Programme — a structured three-month professional development programme designed to support healthcare clinicians seeking experience, supervision, and specialist training within ADHD and neurodevelopmental services.
The programme has been created to help bridge the gap between formal education and real-world clinical practice by providing supervised ADHD assessment work experience, mentorship, and practical exposure to multidisciplinary ADHD services across both NHS and private clinical settings.
As demand for specialist ADHD services continues to increase across the UK, the programme supports clinicians looking to develop careers in ADHD assessment, neurodevelopmental care, and specialist mental health services.
ADHD Assessor Training and Clinical Development
The Neurodiversity Practitioner Placement Programme has been specifically designed to support clinicians looking for:
- ADHD assessor training
- ADHD assessment work experience
- ADHD assessment jobs preparation
- Clinical supervision within ADHD services
- Neurodevelopmental practitioner development
- Specialist ADHD assessment training pathways
Throughout the three-month programme, practitioners will gain supervised clinical experience aligned to their professional background and competency level across the ADHD assessment and clinical decision-making pathway.
Who Can Apply?
The programme is open to registered healthcare clinicians and allied health professionals, including:
- Pharmacists
- Nurses
- GPs
- Psychologists
- Occupational Therapists (HCPC registered)
- Speech and Language Therapists (HCPC registered)
- Registered Social Workers
Mentorship From Leading ADHD Clinicians
Practitioners will receive guidance from senior clinicians and academic leaders, including Dr Mudasir Nazir, Honorary Lecturer at Imperial College London and one of the UK’s leading consultant psychiatrists within neurodevelopmental care.
This mentorship supports practitioners in developing:
- ADHD assessment skills
- Clinical confidence
- Patient-centred assessment approaches
- Professional standards and governance knowledge
- Multidisciplinary working competencies
Flexible ADHD Training Programme for Working Professionals
We understand that many healthcare clinicians already have professional and personal commitments. The Neurodiversity Practitioner Placement Programme has therefore been designed to provide supervised clinical experience that can be completed alongside existing work responsibilities.
Supporting Careers in ADHD Assessment Jobs and Neurodevelopmental Services
At the end of the programme, practitioners will receive a clinical sign-off from their supervising clinician and mentor as part of their continuing professional development journey.
The programme supports:
- CPD and professional revalidation
- ADHD clinical competency development
- Career progression within ADHD services
- Preparation for ADHD assessment jobs
- Long-term careers in neurodevelopmental care
The Neurodiversity Practitioner Placement Programme aims to help healthcare clinicians build the skills, confidence, and practical experience needed to succeed within the growing ADHD and neurodevelopmental sector while making a positive impact within the neurodiverse community.
