🤩 What We Value

Care is at the heart of who we are - in how we support the people we serve, and in how we treat each other as colleagues. We believe the way we show up for each other is just as important as what we do. Skills matter, but it’s our mindset and behaviours that protect the supportive culture we’ve built, and help us thrive together. We value:

• Kindness - treating colleagues, partners, and everyone we support, with respect and care.
• Transparency - being open and honest so that trust can grow.
• Reflection- pausing to learn from experience and improve together.
• Growth mindset - always welcoming feedback and challenges as opportunities to develop.
• Accountability taking ownership of our actions and outcomes, not to assign blame, but to learn, adapt, improve, and move forward.
• Solution-seeking- focusing on constructive ways forward, even when things are tough.
• Collaboration- sharing ideas, supporting one another, and celebrating collective success.

🗓️ Our Clinician Selection Process

We aim to make our application process as streamlined as possible.

1. Shortlisted clinicians are invited to a Competency Call with our Talent Acquisition team - this will include a brief IT competency task
2. Successful clinicians will then be required to submit all the necessary documentation (including DBS, professional registration, references, indemnity insurance)
3. Once all necessary documentation is received and processed, you’ll be invited to attend two online training sessions. This training must be completed before clinicians can join the in-person event and be signed off to deliver clinic
4. Once clinicians have successfully completed the online training, they’ll attend the in-person event where they’ll receive further training, and deliver a supervised clinic as part of the sign-off process

🩵Apply with Confidence

At Care ADHD, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, especially those from historically marginalised communities, as we work together to create a more equitable future.
