Overview
We are a small, specialist private clinic delivering adult ADHD and Autism assessments in line with NICE guidelines. As we prepare for registration with Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS), we are seeking a clinically qualified professional to join as our Clinical Lead, providing clinical governance, oversight of pathways, and leadership across service quality and compliance.
This is a stable 0.5 FTE leadership role suited to an experienced clinician who wants consistent governance and clinical leadership alongside other work. Our clinical and administrative SOPs are already written; the primary need is clinical oversight, governance leadership, and quality assurance to support HIS readiness and ongoing regulatory compliance.

Maintain and improve clinical standards, documentation quality, and report consistency

Support audit processes (documentation audits, outcome review, feedback trends, clinical risk)
2) Regulatory Support (HIS Readiness & Ongoing Compliance)

Support readiness for HIS registration and inspection processes
-
Ensure clinical governance aligns with HIS standards and evidence requirements
-
Contribute to maintaining key governance logs (incidents, complaints, safeguarding) and ensure learning/actions are followed through
-
Act as a senior clinical point of contact for compliance-related clinical queries (alongside operational admin support)
3) Clinical Team Leadership & Support
-
Provide clinical guidance to assessors and relevant team members
-
Participate in governance meetings and contribute to continuous service improvement
-
Support supervision structures and quality assurance activity (as appropriate to scope)
4) Clinical Service Delivery (If Applicable)
Depending on professional background and availability, there may be scope to contribute clinically:
-
Conduct ADHD and/or Autism assessments in line with NICE guidelines
-
If a Nurse Prescriber: deliver initial medication appointments and follow-up reviews
-
Provide clinical input into pathway development and multidisciplinary working

Strong experience in ADHD/Autism assessment and/or prescribing
-
Demonstrable clinical governance, leadership, or quality improvement experience
-
Understanding of regulatory compliance (HIS, CQC, or equivalent), particularly as it relates to clinical governance and inspection readiness
-
Strong diagnostic reasoning, documentation, and communication skills
-
Comfortable providing leadership within a small, specialist, remote team
Desirable (but not essential)
-
Experience in independent/private healthcare settings

What We Offer

Stable, part-time clinical leadership role with flexibility around existing commitments
-
Opportunity to shape and lead clinical governance within an established neurodevelopmental clinic
