Consultant Child &Adolescent Psychiatrist

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, skilled, approachable and motivated Consultant to join the CYPMH division within the Trust to help in managing the care of children and young people living within the north central London. This is an excellent opportunity for a Consultant who would like to work and develop a well-functioning team that addresses the needs of young people with emotional and behavioural problems with learning disabilities and their families/carers living in the borough of Enfield. The Consultant will work with a skilled and well-functioning MDT and will be supported by the wider Enfield CYPMHS team. We are looking for a consultant who is either on the specialist register or working towards a specialist registration either in Child & Adolescent or intellectual disability.

The post has arisen as a senior post holder has moved from this position. The postholder will be working with a caseload of young people who require medical reviews and monitoring and offer consultation to the wider MDT.

The Consultant appointed to the post will be encouraged to develop their own interests and pursue research interest in collaboration with the child and adolescent mental health research unit based at University College London CAMHS research unit led by Professor Argyris Stringaris. The consultant will be encouraged to participate in various QI projects across CYPMH services and will also be encouraged to come up with new QI projects as identified. The consultant can also participate in teaching medical students and psychiatry trainees as well.
