Jobs with Sensational Minds

We work on an associate model, which means we grow the team as demand grows. If you share our neuroaffirming, family-centred approach, we would love to hear from you.

How we work

An associate model built for flexibility

At Sensational Minds we work on an associate model. Rather than a fixed roster, we bring in skilled clinicians and specialists as assessments, coaching and partnerships come in. As the business grows, so does the work, and we look to our associate network first when new opportunities arise.

It is a flexible way of working that suits experienced practitioners who value autonomy and want to fit meaningful work around other commitments. We review applications on a rolling basis, so there is no closing date. Please feel free to add your CV and complete the form below, and we will be in touch when a suitable opportunity comes up.

We are always looking for autism, ADHD and dyslexia assessors and highly skilled specialist SENCos to join the team. We also welcome operational staff CVs.

Specialists we are always keen to meet

Autism Assessors

Clinicians experienced in ADOS-2 and ADI-R, with a neuroaffirming, developmental approach to autism assessment for children and adults.

Answers

Working with Sensational Minds

Written to be genuinely useful, and short enough to read at the end of a long day.

How does the associate model work?
We work on an associate model, which means you are engaged as and when work is available rather than on a guaranteed hours contract. As the business grows and demand increases, associates are offered sessions, assessments and projects that match their skills and availability. It is a flexible arrangement that suits clinicians and specialists who value autonomy and want to fit work around other commitments.
Do I need to be based in Colchester?
No. Many of our assessments and most of our coaching are delivered online across the UK. Autism assessments that include ADOS-2 observation take place in person at The Chill Out Centre in Colchester, so we do keep a local network of associates for that work. For operational roles, being within reach of Colchester is helpful but not always essential.
When will I hear back?
We review applications on a rolling basis, as the business grows and new opportunities come up. There is no fixed deadline, which means your details stay on file and we get in touch when a role matches your skills. If you want to check on progress, you are welcome to email us at any time.
What should I include in my CV?
A current CV covering your qualifications, registrations (for example HCPC, UKAAN, PATOSS or equivalent), relevant experience and areas of interest is ideal. A short note about why you would like to join Sensational Minds and what you feel you could bring is helpful but not essential.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Your CV and application details are uploaded securely and only seen by our hiring team. We keep your details on file with your consent and will delete them if you ask us to. Please do not include sensitive clinical or health information about third parties in your application.
