This post is for a CAMHS Consultant Psychiatrist position in the Southend Essex Thurrock (SET) CAMHS Eating Disorder Team based at Widford Hall, Tattersall Way, Chelmsford, Essex CM2 STD. Rationale for post: This is a well-established post but has been vacant due to the previous consultant retiring. This is funded as eight Programmed Activities (10 PAs) post with 7.5 Direct Clinical Contact activities (DCC) and 2.5 Supporting Professional Activities (SPAs). On-call responsibilities: The postholder will be part of the Senior Psychiatrist out of hours on-call rota. The community CAMHS Consultants participate in an on-call rota with a current frequency of 1:7, with a 2% of basic salary, Category B on-call supplement. This rota mainly provides telephone advice to the crisis teams, which is the first port of call for children in crises out of hours, covering Southend, Essex and Thurrock. The on-call shifts are from 17:00 - 09:00 Monday to Friday, and all day on weekends and bank holidays. The on call does not include support to psychiatric inpatient units or Section 136 suites, as this is provided by a different organisation in Essex (EPUT). The successful candidate will work as part of multidisciplinary teams providing care to children and young people with eating disorders and other comorbid mental health needs, across Essex. The service is provided by one team with one management structure, but due to the size of the area covered it is spread across two main bases.
