Job summary
This is an exciting opportunity for a child and adolescent consultant psychiatrist to become involved in transformation and leadership within a forward-looking CAMHS service. We are keen to shape the post to fit the needs of the right applicant and to support them in developing their interests within our broad portfolio of services.
Durham Tees Valley Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services work with children and young people up to the age of 18 across Getting Help, Getting More Help, and neurodevelopmental assessment teams. The teams are closely linked with LD CAMHS, Eating Disorders, and Forensic CAMHS. The out-of-hours activity is supported by a dedicated CAMHS crisis team, which operates on a 24/7 basis and provides extended crisis input as well as home treatment options as alternatives to hospital admissions.
The Redcar and Cleveland Children and Young People's Service is based in The Ridings in Redcar, the major population centre of the unitary authority area of Redcar and Cleveland, formerly part of the County of Cleveland. The premises are located next to Foxrush, the base for Adult Mental Health services in Redcar, facilitating good working links with colleagues.
The post holder will have responsibility for assessing and managing the mental and/or behavioral needs of children and young people presenting with mental disorders and requiring assessment for neurodevelopmental needs.
Main duties of the job
The post holder is expected to offer mental health assessments, psychiatric opinions, diagnoses, and holistic care plans for patients up to the age of 18, referred to them in hours and when on call.
Direct patient contact would include new patients to the service, new psychiatric assessments, and review appointments. Main conditions would include: ADHD, ASD, Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders, Eating Disorders, Tic Disorders, Psychosis, Self-harm, Conduct Disorder, and Sleep disorders.
The Children and Young People's Service uses the Care Programme Approach (CPA) and has a relevant all-age Trust policy. Most young patients are managed on Standard Care, with some requiring management via CPA. The post holder will manage a caseload of both types, acting as Care Coordinator for some patients and as Lead Professional or Co-worker for others.
Clinical work will mainly be carried out at The Ridings in Redcar (or a new site after moving), but may also occur in other settings, such as community or school environments, based on patient needs and preferences.
