About Us
The Autism Service is a clinician-led company providing high-quality ASD and ADHD diagnostic assessments and treatment for children, young people and adults across the UK.

Ideally, the candidate will have prior experience of NHS commissioning and the Patient Choice legislation, although training can be provided and knowledge built through the position.

- Assist with responding to clarification questions during the tender or accreditation process.
- Maintain templates and documentation for future contract submissions.
- Meet diaried monthly, quarterly and bi-annual reporting deadlines and use templates to share need-to-know information.
- Contribute to developing strong stakeholder relationships.
Requirements
- Experience of public sector procurement and, specifically, producing contractual documents for tenders or accreditations.
- Understanding of NHS commissioning, the Standard Contract requirements and the Patient Choice legislation.
- Ability to interpret service specifications, implement requirements in daily operations and support contract governance and compliance.
- Excellent writing, editing and document management skills.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to meet tight deadlines.
- Understanding of key performance indicators and reporting templates/frameworks.
- Experience working in healthcare services or another regulated industry.
What We Offer
