A Vacancy at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
National and Specialist CAMHS Outpatients (N&S OPD) are seeking to recruit a part-time Specialty Doctor in the SCAAND service to work for 2 sessions within a clinical research trial, SATURN (Stimulant medication for ADHD and Tics – Understanding Response versus Non-stimulants).
This project is a randomised trial that aims to understand whether stimulant or nonstimulant medication is most effective for treating children and young people who are experiencing both attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and tics.
This is an established post designed to provide clinical research capacity for the services participating in the SATURN trial in the London area. It is an exciting opportunity for a doctor interested in a career in psychiatry who wants to gain some experience in clinical research. This post has arisen as the previous post holder has been successful in obtaining a Clinical Academic Lectureship and continues to provide input into the trial.
The post is based at the Michael Rutter Centre on the Maudsley Site which facilitates close working and support for the postholder with other Consultant Psychiatrists and clinicians across National and Specialist CAMHS. The post holder will need to travel to other participating centres in the Southern hub on occasion to facilitate the participants’ initial visit in the research study.
This is a fixed-term contract until 31st May 2026, with the possibility of subsequent extension.
