We have a Consultant opportunity in our Getting More Help South CAMHS team. This Consultant post would be based within a well-resourced multidisciplinary team with very experienced fellow Consultants. As a Consultant, you will be responsible for supporting your team manager in ensuring that our service users' needs are met through the delivery of high-quality care, offering a person-centred approach to their independence and well-being.

You will have clinical leadership opportunities to develop services across the patch and medical education/supervision. You will also be part of a Trust wide Consultant network where there are opportunities to liaise with colleagues in other posts throughout the Trust and develop peer networks.
