This assessment will need to be carried out in person, so we will confirm the opening/ visiting time of the secure unit.

The solicitor believes report is needed to show that the client is not fit to stand trial.Please contact us asap if you are able to help with this assignment.

At ThinkLocum, we work with various solicitors, that regularly require psychological reports to assess a claimant’s or defendant’s psychological faculties.  We now require psychologists who are experienced and qualified to undertake and deliver relevant psychological reports.

The Opportunity
You will undertake assessments over a video platform like MS Teams. You will be expected to demonstrate a client’s low IQ and mental competency and show how that has affected behaviour. Other reports may include supporting current psychiatric assessments to demonstrate the effect issues like ADHD have had.
