Consultant Psychiatrist in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust

We are seeking skilled and compassionate individuals to join the new NHS Children and Young People's Gender Service (London) in the role of Consultant Psychiatrist in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

Post holders will provide consultant psychiatrist leadership and expertise for the NHS Children and Young People's Gender Service, as part of the multidisciplinary team.

Successful candidates will be responsible for ensuring the highest levels of safety and quality in the service. They will have been involved in service improvement and design and be able to work objectively in a service with high level of external scrutiny, whilst focusing on delivering the best care for children and young people, aligned to the new service specification.

The post holder will provide clinical leadership, supervision and support to junior staff and be a source of clinical expertise to the multi-disciplinary team. The post offers opportunities to take a key role in a number of exciting service development and research initiatives.

In line with recommendations from the ongoing Cass Review, we are recruiting to part time sessions, in order for staff to maintain a broad clinical perspective by working across related services within other secondary and tertiary centres. It is expected that staff members will therefore work across at least one other clinical specialism area, in addition to this role within the gender service.

Main Duties of the Job

Clinical Responsibilities:

  • Have accountability for the delivery of high quality and safe care, with the Clinical Director and Clinical Lead for the Children and Young People's Gender Service (London).
  • Ensure that high standards and appropriate protocols are in place and rigorously followed for all aspects of the service.
  • Undertake detailed and complex assessments aligned to a pre-agreed approach but using a high degree of clinical expertise.
  • Support the development of care plans including using clinical judgement regarding priority of support, expected timelines etc.
  • Liaise with other health professionals and social care teams as necessary to support appropriate care for patients.
About Us

Following the recommendations of The Cass Review Interim Report, two new nationally networked services led by specialist children's tertiary care providers are being established. The Southern Hub, based in London, is delivered by a partnership of Evelina London Children's Hospital (part of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust), Great Ormond Street Hospital and the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.

The Northern Hub is delivered by a partnership of Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital (part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust). This role is based in the Southern Hub.

We are committed to promoting an environment that embraces diversity and promotes equality of opportunity. We would like all our families and staff to feel valued and respected because we try to understand and provide for their individual needs.
