We are seeking to appoint an experienced Consultant Psychiatrist to work within our Child & Adolescent Learning Disability Service.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a busy, developing service to provide consultation to specialist CAMHS for children and young people with moderate to profound intellectual disability, some of whom may have significant co-morbid mental health needs.
We are looking for a consultant with the interest and skills in providing strong medical leadership to take our services forward. The role is being offered on a permanent basis, alongside a tailored management leadership programme for those individuals who would be interested in pursuing this.
The LD CAMHS service is a comprehensive multidisciplinary learning disability mental health team, incorporating psychiatry, psychology, learning disability nursing, speech and language therapy and behavioural analyst expertise.
The team provide a highly specialist learning disability CAMHS service for children and young people with moderate to profound intellectual disabilities with additional mental health needs and/or challenging behaviour. Many of the CYP have complex needs related to Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and/ or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The team have strong relationships with the local authority disabled children services, special schools and education departments across all boroughs.
We are Proud to Belong at South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust.
We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill-health. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as 'good' - we aspire to be 'outstanding'.
This is a great time to join us. We are transforming the way we care for our communities to support our mission of Making Life Better Together. We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world. More developments are planned across our sites and services.
We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.
We offer flexible working, career development and a variety of benefits to enable a positive, welcoming environment in which our people and their careers can thrive.
