Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist - EB Team

East London NHS Foundation Trust

The closing date is 15 May 2024

Job summary

Have you got exceptional clinical skills to support young people's mental health? Our vision is to make a positive difference to young people's lives by providing the highest quality mental health to our local communities, to help them overcome some of life's challenges. ELFT have an exciting opportunity for a vibrant Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist to join our CQC rated Outstanding Foundation Trust.

Main duties of the job

Working from our South Bedfordshire (Dunstable) based clinic you will be joining a group of dynamic psychiatrists where you can maximise your own individual area of specialist interest within our varied clinical care pathways in Bedfordshire CAMHS. You will be responsible for direct psychiatric assessment, formulation of treatment plans, leading MDT clinical discussions and helping to influence service delivery at SMT forums. We believe that the costs associated with relocation should not restrict our ability to recruit the staff we need; if you are joining our Trust then we could support you with this by offering up to £10,000 for removal and associated expenses.

UK Registration

Applicants must have current UK professional registration. For further information please see applying from overseas.

About us

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
