Vacancy at Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust
The post holder will work with a large multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, social workers and psychologists, psychotherapists and creative therapists. The team consists of approximately 42 full‑time equivalents split as 34 clinicians and 8 administrative staff.
The service receives approximately 3,704 referrals per year, including new and re‑referrals and 2,933 records where a referral allocation exists for 2022. All new cases are seen first by one of the multidisciplinary team for a mental health assessment. After this the young person may be seen for a secondary assessment by a psychiatrist where there are concerns such as eating disorder, psychosis (under 16 years), moderate or severe depression, obsessive‑compulsive disorder, severe self‑harm or complex cases. In all cases where a psychiatric opinion is sought the cases are brought to one of four multidisciplinary (MDT) weekly meetings.
It is expected that the consultant will have approximately 2–3 patient‑related contacts per clinical session. These may include review appointments (face‑to‑face or remotely), therapeutic treatment appointments, multi‑agency meetings or CPA reviews, consultations with other clinicians or professionals about specific patients, and clinical supervision regarding specific patients.
Consultant offices are located at Kimberworth Place (Rotherham), The Crystal Building (Doncaster), and St Nicholas House (Scunthorpe). The majority of non‑remote clinical work will be done from these bases.
The consultant psychiatrist for CAMHS will take an active part in the clinical work of the team and play a lead role in the development of the service.
The specific duties include:
* Provide consultant psychiatric leadership to the CAMHS service.
* Offer regular consultation to the multidisciplinary team both through MDT case discussions and on an individual basis.
* Assess, contribute to the formulation of care plans and treat where appropriate young people and their families when there is a question of psychiatric diagnosis or the case is very complex.
* Assess high‑risk cases when required.
* Work with the MDT in the ongoing treatment and management of cases where consultant psychiatric skills are required.
* Liaise with other agencies and professionals to ensure the wellbeing of the young person, including child protection and the care programme approach where appropriate.
* All cases are case‑managed by a member of the MDT.
