This post is for an CAMHS Consultant Psychiatrist position in the SET CAMHS Basildon and Brentwood Team at Great Oaks Clinic, Great Oaks, Basildon, Essex, SS14 1EH.
This is a well-established post but has been vacant due to the previous consultant leaving the organisation. A lot of transformation has taken place already and continues to take place within Essex's Community CAMHS Services. This post is currently vacant, and we wish to recruit substantively to this post as soon as possible.
This is a replacement, substantive, full-time post - 10 Programmed Activities (PAs) post with 7.5 Direct Clinical Contact activities (DCC) and 2.5 Supporting Professional Activities (SPAs).
The postholder will be part of the Senior Psychiatrist out of hours on-call rota. The community CAMHS Consultants participate in an on-call rota with a current frequency of 1:7, with a 2% of basic salary, Category B on-call supplement. This rota mainly provides telephone advice to the crisis teams, which is the first port of call for children in crises out of hours, covering Southend, Essex and Thurrock. The on-call shifts are from 17:00 - 09:00 Monday to Friday, and all day on weekends and bank holidays. The on call does not include support to psychiatric inpatient units or Section 136 suites, as this is provided by a different organisation in Essex (EPUT).
The successful candidate will work as part of multidisciplinary teams providing care to children and young people with mental health needs, across Basildon and Brentwood Essex. The service is provided by one team with one management structure, but due to the size of the area covered it is spread across two main bases.
The successful candidate will provide senior medical support to the teams, and direct input on clinical cases. The consultant will be expected to provide guidance and supervision to the team, work directly with children and young people (and their families), and liaise as appropriate with other external CAMHS mental health providers, and acute hospitals. You will work alongside another CAMHS Consultant Psychiatrist in the team (Dr Coleen Lyder) and will share supervision responsibilities for any future trainees based within the team.
