JOB TITLE: Consultant Children and Adolescent Psychiatrist; Inpatient and Home TreatmentTeam.
CONTRACT: 10 Programmed Activities (10 PAs)
Flexible working available – including job share, part-time, remote sessions considered
BASE: Brookside Unit, 107a Barley Lane, Goodmayes, Ilford. IG3 8XQ
Consultant Psychiatrist in Children and Adolescent Inpatient, Brookside Unit and the young person’s Home Treatment Team.
This is a replacement full-time post of 10 Programmed Activities (PAs) with 7.5 Direct Clinical Contact activities (DCC) and 2.5 Supporting Professional Activities (SPAs).
The purpose of this job description is to outline the level of responsibility and accountability of this post. This will ensure that all work undertaken by our staff is clearly identified and carried out under clear lines of accountability.
The successful candidate will be committed to establishing a culture of relational care and collaborative working across the inpatient unit and home treatment team. You will work as a senior clinical lead in the multidisciplinary team and provide direct clinical care to patients. You are expected to demonstrate clinical and strategic leadership and provide supervision to clinicians where appropriate. You will work clinically with young people and their families, and work closely with community CAMHS colleagues in the care of young persons within the service, particularly from the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge, Waltham Forest and Havering. The post holder will also be expected to take a lead on emergency Mental Health Act assessments of CAMHS cases in A&E and the Section 136 suite as required.
On-call responsibilities:
The postholder will be part of the Senior Psychiatrist on-call rota covering out of hours and weekends for Mental Health Services in NELFT. The on-call will cover service delivery for Children and Adolescents presenting with mental health problems. The on-call rota is covered by the local community substantive CAMHS consultants and the two inpatient consultants. This rota is currently 1:13 rota, with a 3% Category A salary supplement. The rota would be 1:13, which equates to 4 weeks a year.
Brookside Services include the Brookside Unit (general acute mixed ward, 15 beds) and the Young People’s Home treatment Team (up to 25 patients supported in the community). The services provide assessment and treatment of all mental disorders associated with the child and adolescent population between the ages of 12 to 18 years. You will join another full-time consultant and share responsibility for the service. The inpatient ward and the YPHTT have separate managers and supported by a modern matron. Both pathways benefit from occupational therapy, psychology, and safeguarding input onto the ward. Supervision arrangements for the resident and SAS doctor will be the responsibility of the consultants in the team.
