Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist

This role is offered on a permanent basis. The hours are full-time/ part time hours available. The post has been created to increase consultant psychiatric capacity within the developing Neurodevelopmental service and to provide additional consultant-level support to Core CAMHS. The development reflects the separation of the Neurodevelopmental and Core CAMHS medical roles within the current service configuration. The Neurodevelopmental component is the principal specialist focus of the post. The Core CAMHS component provides additional consultant capacity to the Core CAMHS service and will include assessment, formulation, treatment advice, medication review, MDT working and clinical leadership for children and young people requiring consultant psychiatric input. The post-holder will be expected to provide psychiatric input to children and young people referred to CAMHS registered with GPs in Gloucestershire. Psychiatrists work in treatment clinics with multi-disciplinary colleagues to deliver either general CAMHS intervention or more specialist teamwork, such as neurodevelopmental work. The post holder will also work closely with the Neurodevelopmental MDT, Core CAMHS teams, Community Paediatrics, CAMHS Outreach, CAMHS Mental Health Liaison, Non-Medical Prescribers, Speciality Doctors, trainees and other relevant health, education and social care professionals.
