Health Care Provider (Temporary)

Base: Aberdeen Health Village, Frederick Street, Aberdeen Hours – 21 hours per week – Temporary or Secondment (23 months)

Aberdeen City HSCP is seeking a clinician to join our emerging, community-owned neurodevelopmental pathway for children and families across Aberdeen City. This is a great opportunity to help shape a neuro-affirming, strengths-based model that prioritises early identification and timely, coordinated support in universal and community settings, reducing reliance on specialist diagnostic pathways. You will work as part of an AHP-led multidisciplinary consultation approach within a “team around the child” model, partnering with education, health and third-sector colleagues to build shared understanding, support inclusive environments, and improve outcomes for children and families.

In this role, you will provide clinical input, contribute to collaborative narrative-building with children, families and professionals, and strengthen processes for gathering assessment evidence to enable consistent, high-quality decision-making during the Test of Change period. You will also help develop and deliver workforce learning in neuro-affirming practice, drawing on national resources including the Scottish Government’s National Neurodevelopmental Specification, and learning from the National Autism Implementation Team (NAIT) and Public Services Delivery (PSD).

Our service values ongoing CPD, a robust clinical supervision process, and a quality improvement approach to service development. We work with multi-agency colleagues across the partnership and wider services on shared priorities and transformational change, including modernising pathways, improving clinical effectiveness, and delivering person-centred care, with a strong focus on prevention and tackling health inequalities. We also participate in student training.

You must be a car driver and hold a full driving licence.

If you are a registered clinician with experience of working with neurodivergent children and young people (or a strong commitment to developing this), and a passion for co-produced, system-wide improvement, we would love to hear from you.
