Sessional ADOS/ADIR Assessor

to join our team.


This is a sessional, site-based role, offering flexibility to support the ASC Assessment Team as and when required, in line with business needs and service demand.



Why join Priory as a Sessional Partner?

At Priory, you’ll be part of a compassionate, multidisciplinary team committed to delivering personalised, evidence-based care that helps people move forward with confidence and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.




You will play a key role in patients’ recovery, contributing to assessment, treatment planning, and therapeutic delivery, while working within strong clinical governance frameworks.




What we offer:

*
Steady patient flow

Credibility & trust

– work under the nationally recognised Priory brand

*
Clinical and admin support

*
Flexibility

*
Team connection

What you’ll bring to the role

Essential for the role


You will have

*
Competitive sessional rates

with active patient flow

Flexible workload

– typically 8–15 sessions per week (more or fewer by choice)
