Are you looking for more freedom and flexibility?

If the answer is yes to the above, then you may be interested in our Autism and / or ADHD Assessment Practitioner role at Mindler.

Founded in 2018 in Sweden, Mindler is a digital therapy service aimed at providing mental health treatment to adults experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties. Mindler expanded into the UK in 2021, and since then we’ve been on a mission to provide patients with quick appointments, whilst offering the best workplace for our clinicians.

The freedom of Mindler is such that you choose the hours and schedule that works for you. Some of our clinicians work at 6am, others work at 8pm. Others work at weekends, and some during the day. You’re in charge of your own work/life balance, with the added bonus of being able to work from pretty much anywhere.

We are currently recruiting for Autism and / or ADHD Assessment Practitioners with a minimum of two years diagnostic experience. We like to think that the flexibility and freedom that comes with joining Mindler is our major benefit, but besides this we offer a pay scale which rises with your experience.

One of the best things about being a clinician at Mindler is our Care Coordination team. Outside of your sessions, they’ll interact with your clients by text and work with you to help your patients achieve their goals. They’ll also be by your side during the rare event of escalations such as referrals out of our service or safeguarding situations.
