2 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for a strong and dynamic leader for our Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services and Eating Disorder Services in Central and North West London.

It is an exciting time, as we work with partners at place, across the Integrated Care System and in the Provider Collaboratives.

There are real opportunities to improve our offer. To do this, you will need to show determination and commitment to good patient outcomes and share our vision of delivering care in the least restrictive environment. You will have a demonstrable track record of improving timely access to treatment and working with partnership organisations to offer better outcomes. You will particularly be able to talk about how you have improved access and working environments for diverse groups of patients and staff.

Working as part of the Goodall Divisional Board, you will become part of a wider team across disciplines and specialties with a range of learning and development opportunities.

The Service Director for CAMHS and Eating Disorders in CNWL is responsible for the operational management of the CAMHS community services, CAMHS inpatient services, Eating Disorders community services and Eating Disorders inpatient service across the North West London boroughs of Kensington & Chelsea, Westminster, Brent, Harrow and Hillingdon ensuring effective, high quality delivery which meets key national and local requirements within available resources.

The Postholder will work closely with the Clinical Director for CAMHS and Clinical Director for Eating Disorders to ensure the delivery of high quality services for children and young people and those people who need support and treatment with their Eating Disorder. You will also work with other partners to ensure high quality services.

You will have a key role in overseeing estates planning and day to day operation for services where your teams are based.

The Services Director participates in the senior manager on-call rota as required, providing senior management advice and support to mental health services out of hours.

The Service Director is a member of the Goodall Divisional Board and contributes to the management of the Division as a board member.

There’s a place for you at CNWL.

We’re passionate about delivering first-class patient-centred, safe and effective care, whether it is in a hospital setting, a community clinic or in the patient’s own home. Patients are at the heart of everything we do.

CNWL (Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust) has almost 7,000 staff providing integrated healthcare to a third of London's population, Milton Keynes and areas beyond. We involve service users, carers, the public, staff and partner organisations in the way that we are run.

We aim to employ only the best people; our experts are frequently called upon to contribute to national health strategy and policy, and many models of our care have been adapted for use in other countries.

The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
