Job description

Job responsibilities

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 team work such as neurodevelopmental work.

Psychiatrists also deliver medication clinics. Multi-disciplinary groups meet regularly to discuss ongoing work as well as for work planning and case discussion. There is a weekly team meeting in each of the two main team bases. Safeguarding supervision also takes place regularly. The service works to the Care Co-ordinator system. Many consultant cases will be supported by a Care Co-ordinator from the team. The remainder will be straightforward medication review cases for whom multi-disciplinary support can be sought in the event of emerging increased complexity. The average number of sessions for treatment completion and discharge is between 8 and 10. The locality teams meet to discuss ongoing work and the post holder will meet the functional groups of clinicians regularly for work planning and discussion e.g. specialist treatment clinics. Consultants only taking Care Co-ordinator roles for cases which require straight forward medical care only. This enables Consultants to contribute fully to multi-disciplinary team work. Intervention work is largely provided by specialist staff often in conjunction with the consultant. The average number of sessions for treatment completion and discharge is eight.

We support development of areas of clinical and professional development in keeping with service delivery, as well as your own personal development.
