The Consultant is employed by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust and will join the twelve other NHS Consultants and two Academic Consultants in the CAMHS service. We are open to discussion about less than full time working.
The vacancy came to existence due to the internal move of a Consultant .

Psychiatrists are not expected routinely to take on the role of case coordinator and there is a team caseload ethos. Involvement in other clinical tasks for the team (routine consultations, therapy) may be possible, but would be negotiated through job planning and would take second priority to the key psychiatric tasks.
Due to the fact that the job is split between geographically disparate sites, the successful candidate must be able to travel between these sites independently.
