Consultant CAMHS - Neurodevelopment & Severe Learning Disabilities (SLD)

We are looking for an outstanding psychiatrist to join our CAMHS team. This post is for a Consultant in the CAMHS Neurodevelopmental team, including Severe Learning Disabilities.

Enjoying the varied nature of CAMHS, you will be enthusiastic, professional and committed to providing the very best care for patients under your care. You will provide sound medical advice and leadership with ease to the PMDT and occasionally to the neurodevelopment team.

As a consultant in the service you will naturally be at the forefront of decision making with regards to service provision, development and delivery. You will possess the skills and knowledge to supervise the foundation, GP and psychiatry trainees assigned to the department with ease.

The interview date will be Friday 28th June 2024 (AM)

Main duties of the job

The Neurodevelopmental team and the SLD team used to be separate teams but they have amalgamated in one within the last year to facilitate optimal skill mix amongst the team members The work of the postholder will be to support the multi-disciplinary neurodevelopmental team, including the SLD population by providing psychiatric assessments and treatments but also case consultation and supervision to other members of the team and containment of risk. This is a community-based post with a central base at Mount Gould Hospital. The way the team is organised currently referrals are accepted according to specified referral criteria and after triage assessment by team members. They are then allocated for specific modality work.

It is expected that there will be one new assessment per week (including Neurodevelopmental and SLD) and approximately 10 contacts per week depending on complexity. This is equivalent to five contacts per day or three per half day. The follow up work may include family meetings, network meetings and child protection meetings, for example.

There will be a total consultant caseload of approximately 50-60 cases to manage largely comprising those children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental conditions (i.e.: ADHD, ASD or Tourettes) or severe learning disabilities conditions and co-morbid mental health disorders needing medication management. Complex cases will be jointly held with a case manager.
