Job description

Overview

Are you a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist interested in delivering and developing ground-breaking and growing Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in historic and picturesque Wiltshire?

You will work within an active and supportive multidisciplinary team (BaNES Getting More Help Team).

As a Consultant, you will be responsible for supporting your manager in ensuring that our service users\' needs are met through the delivery of high-quality care. As a centre of excellence, you will offer a person-centred approach to independence and well-being. You will have clinical leadership opportunities to develop services across the patch and medical education/supervision. We are a responsive and innovative Foundation Trust that places our values of Caring, Safe and Excellent at the heart of everything we do.

The post holder will work within an active and supportive multidisciplinary team (the BaNES Getting More Help Team). With the team manager and senior members of the team, you will be expected to develop an active leadership role.

Responsibilities

The Getting Help team offers therapeutic input to less complex cases. Emergency referrals can be made by agencies directly to the Getting More Help Team.

• Employees are expected to undertake mandatory and statutory training related to their role.

Organisational commitments

• We are ambitious in our pursuit of excellence, and we believe that a fair, just and fully inclusive organisational culture enables our teams to deliver the best quality of care and services. We work to ensure that our diverse workforce reflects the communities we serve.

• We work with partner organisations to deliver care in people\'s homes and from multiple hospitals and community bases, focusing on care as close to home as possible for people of all ages across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath and North East Somerset.
