NHS Locum Consultant Psychiatrist (CAMHS)

Job overview

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dedicated CAMHS unit within one of the UK’s leading paediatric centres, providing specialist psychiatric input and medical leadership within an established multidisciplinary in-patient team. Not only would you have a central role in delivering psychiatric assessment and treatment for in-patients and their families, you’d also be contributing to providing psychiatric & medical risk management too. If you’re successful, you will also be expected to have a close working relationships with the other consultant psychiatrists and medical colleagues based at this central Birmingham location.  All senior doctors in the unit will offer specialist consultations and peer supervision to medical and non-medical colleagues within the 3700 strong team (including the supervision of junior doctors).

As a leading centre, on-going career support can be expected as standard. The team goes to great lengths to identify, teach, nurture and develop skills of their colleagues, to enable access to training and education and to foster lifelong learning. The aim is that all staff are fully equipped and qualified for the work they do and continue to learn and develop during their time in post. It’s important to the team in this unit that they are able to continually examine the service they provide and find ways to innovate and improve the service so that our children, young people and families receive the best care possible.

For IMGs, this would be an excellent place to further the development of CESR/Portfolio Pathway evidence with a view to gaining full Specialist Registration with the GMC. For a CAMHS doctor, there is likely nowhere better!
