Clinical Psychologist (Limerick)
About the Role
Ireland's largest private-pay autism assessment and intervention service, HSE approved, recognised by the Department of Education, and trusted by families across the country. Clinical psychologists are at the core of what makes the service work, and the operating model is built around investing in them accordingly, in pay, admin support, supervision and clinical technology.
You'll lead comprehensive ASD assessments from end to end, coordinating with the multidisciplinary team as needed. You'll produce detailed, accessible post-assessment reports and provide ongoing support to clients and families navigating life after diagnosis. For experienced candidates, remote and hybrid working is very much on the table, and contractor arrangements can be discussed.
If you've spent time in the public system watching people wait years for answers that should take weeks, this is what the other side of that looks like. The service runs fast, high-quality and no-waitlist, with industry-leading pay, performance bonuses, real admin support, and a team that actually functions as one.

- CPD budget, annual budget plus professional development support
- Sick pay, 4 weeks full pay per year
