Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist
This is a substantive consultant child & adolescent psychiatrist post which has been created by the retirement of longstanding member of the consultant psychiatry team, who has provided Consultant Psychiatry expertise in the Neurodevelopmental Pathway (NDP) in Lambeth CAMHS for many years. It offers a unique opportunity to join an established and dynamic team of 5 Consultant Psychiatrists in Lambeth CAMHS, within South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
This post is advertised alongside a new second NDP/ADHD post, creating two neurodevelopmentally-focused consultant psychiatry posts within the service. This is an exciting development to increase neurodevelopmental pathway capacity, and represents the ideal opportunity to respond innovatively to the needs of our children and young people. This dual-handed approach will also provide a close working relationship with the other consultant psychiatry post-holder and the NDP principal psychologist lead, which we envisage will be a supportive experience and prove fertile ground for innovation.
This post holder will be the primary consultant psychiatrist for the Neurodevelopmental Pathway (NDP) in Lambeth CAMHS. They will work closely with the Band 8b NDP lead, an experienced psychologist. The NDP is an integrated neurodevelopmental assessment and treatment offer described below. Operationally, core NDP professionals, including this postholder, are majority based within the River Team (higher-complexity CAMHS) for children and young people up to the age of 18 years, but there are embedded NDP clinicians in other teams within the service.
