About Evolve Psychology
At Evolve Psychology, we do things differently. Founded in 2014 by Dr Laura Powling, Evolve Psychology began with a bold aim to redefine what clinical and neurodevelopmental psychology means in practice. Laura’s vision was simple yet powerful: to bring care, connection, empathy, and clinical excellence together, with no compromise.

What started as a small practice delivering expert witness and neurodevelopmental assessments has grown into an international independent psychology and neurodevelopmental service providing services across the UK, Ireland and beyond. In the UK, we provide services through the NHS and private, specialising in a variety of pathways, including:
  • NHS-funded neurodevelopmental assessments via Right to Choose (online when clinically appropriate and in-person)
  • Private neurodevelopmental assessments (online when clinically appropriate and in-person)
  • SpLD assessments, including dyslexia and dyscalculia
  • Intellectual disability assessments, including cognitive

We are clinician-founded and clinician-led. Our clinicians are proudly registered with HCPC, NMC, GMC and Social Work England or affiliated with the British Psychological Society. Globally, we are an award-winning, multidisciplinary team of over 100 experts, committed to delivering high-quality, expert services.

What sets Evolve Psychology apart?
  • Expert leadership: Founded and led by Dr Laura Powling, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with 20+ years’ experience across mental health, neurodevelopmental, psychological and forensic services, bringing deep clinical insight and hands-on leadership to everything we do.
  • NHS-accredited provider: Recognised for delivering high-quality services regionally and nationally across the UK.
  • Dedicated clinical leadership: Across all of our clinical pathways.
  • Gold-standard Assessments: We are compliant with NICE, BPS, and other national and international assessment standards.
  • Access to digital tools: Supporting assessment delivery, including electronic health record systems.
  • Comprehensive CPD and discipline-specific clinical supervision.
  • Person-centred approach: We prioritise clinical quality and real impact, not speed or scale at the expense of care. Our assessments are evidence-based, multidisciplinary, and designed to support the whole person, not just produce a diagnosis.
  • Beyond assessments: Clinicians can contribute to the Evolve Inter Skills & Research Academy - developing training, shaping neuroinclusive content, or collaborating on research to raise awareness and improve support for neurodivergent individuals, educational institutions, and workplaces.
  • Values-led culture: Compassion, clarity, and integrity guide everything we do, from team interactions to family support.
  • Sustainable growth: With clinics across the UK, a growing digital presence, and a multidisciplinary team of 100+ experts, Evolve is expanding with care, always keeping quality at the centre.

The Role
At Evolve Psychology Services, we equip our clinicians with cutting-edge tools and support, to help them focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional care to children, young people and their families.

You’ll join a passionate and supportive multidisciplinary team dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and young people. Our service specialises in high-quality, evidence-based assessments for autism and ADHD, delivered through both NHS-funded referrals and private pathways. As a Specialist Neurodevelopmental Practitioner, you’ll contribute to comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments, helping ensure timely, accurate diagnoses that lead to appropriate support and improved outcomes for families. We have full-time and part-time roles available, with 3 days being the minimum commitment needed.

You will be responsible for:
  • Conducting face-to-face structured observations as part of the neurodevelopmental assessment process.
  • Conducting remote developmental history interviews with parents and carers via Zoom
  • Participating collaboratively in peer MDT diagnostic discussions, supported by senior clinicians where needed
  • Delivering clear, compassionate feedback to families
  • Producing accurate clinical reports, including diagnostic formulations, with the help of our smart tools
  • Working efficiently to meet service Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
  • Delivering clinical supervision (where applicable)
  • Able to travel to a clinic base to conduct in-person assessments, (hybrid only)

Our Ways of Working:
  • Digital workflows and smart report-writing reduce admin time and enhance clinical impact.
  • A custom-built electronic health record system, developed in-house using market leading research
  • Continuously enhancing internal systems, based on employee feedback to improve efficiency
  • Ongoing training and onboarding to ensure confidence in all tech and systems
  • In-house IT and operational support, so you're never left troubleshooting alone

Qualifications and experience
  • Minimum of 1 years' professional registration with one of the following regulatory bodies: HCPC, NMC, GMC or Social Work England. Such as: HCPC – Clinical Psychologist, Counselling Psychologist, Educational Psychologist, Speech and Language Therapist, Occupational Therapist; NMC – Mental Health Nurse, Learning Disability Nurse, General Nurse, Children’s Nurse; GMC – Medical Practitioners; Social Work England – Social Worker
  • Minimum of 1 years’ experience conducting diagnostic assessments for autism and/or ADHD in children and young people
  • Strong understanding of differential diagnosis in neurodevelopmental presentations
  • In-depth knowledge of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for autism and ADHD
  • Trained and experienced in the use of diagnostic tools such as ADOS-2, ADI-R, etc
  • Effective time management and caseload organisation skills, with the ability to manage competing demands and meet clinical deadlines
  • Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team and participate in collaborative diagnostic discussions.
  • Highly developed written language skills used to produce high-quality clinical reports
  • Well-developed communication skills with children, young people, and their families, ensuring compassionate, clear, and professional interactions throughout the assessment process
  • Must be eligible to work in the UK

Why work with Evolve?
Be part of a supportive, purpose-driven team dedicated to transforming neurodevelopmental care across the UK. At Evolve, we offer:
  • A values-led culture where clinical excellence, compassion, and staff wellbeing come first
  • Continued professional development, clinical supervision, and reflective practice to support the ongoing development of your clinical skills
  • Competitive salary based on experience, with annual salary reviews and pension contributions

  • Private healthcare to support your physical and mental health
  • A company laptop and on-call IT support to enable seamless remote working
  • Opportunities to contribute beyond clinical work through the Evolve Skills & Research Academy, including training and research
  • Company events
