There are 8 sessions within Brent CAMHS and 2 sessions within Brent Early Intervention Service (EIS) focusing on the 14-18 year olds.

This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic, innovative and dedicated child and adolescent psychiatrist with a special interest in complexity and trauma, keen to work with a supportive, dynamic and passionate substantive consultant group and MDT clinicians.

There are opportunities for teaching and training, and strong links with Imperial College London to develop research interests.

The post is 10 PAs and is divided between 8 PAs for the Enhanced Treatment team, and 2 PAs in the Brent Early Intervention for Psychosis service.

The Enhanced Treatment team contains assessment and treatment pathways for children and young people with severe attachment difficulties, emerging personality disorders, and repeated self-harm, usually with a high degree of complexity and comorbidity. The Brent EIS is part of the Adult Mental Health services in Brent and provides assessment and treatment for people over 14 years of age who present with their first psychotic episode. The service contains embedded CAMHS psychiatry resources (this role) for the assessment and treatment of young people aged 14-18 years old with first onset psychosis.
