CYPMHS Consultant Psychiatrist
Consultant Child and Young People Psychiatrist
Location: Emerald Place Clinic
Join Emerald Place Clinic as a Consultant Child and Young People Psychiatrist and make a meaningful impact on the lives of young people aged 13–18 experiencing acute mental health difficulties.
About the Role
At the heart of a 12-bed General Adolescent Inpatient Unit, you will provide evidence-based psychiatric care—delivering, treating, and empowering young people to live safely, independently, and sustainably. Your work will focus on clinical leadership, risk management, and trauma-informed therapeutic planning, ensuring outstanding standards in psychiatric care.
You’ll collaborate closely with families, multidisciplinary team (MDT) members, and external agencies to develop tailored treatment programmes that address the unique challenges faced by young people—including behavioural patterns, safeguarding issues, and complex psychological distress.
This is an opportunity to work within a reliable team and contribute to high-quality, confidential care for those managing some of society’s most vulnerable and challenging situations.

The care model is shaped by regular collaboration across disciplines:
- Psychologists & Psychotherapists
- Nurses & Mental Health Practitioners
- Occupational Therapists
- Social Workers (ensuring safeguarding and systemic support)
- Family Therapists & Educational Leads (districts and local schools)
- Junior Doctors (e.g., Specialist Doctors/RMOs for after-hours support)
Responsibilities & Key Duties
Clinical Duties
- Conduct psychiatric assessments, accurate diagnosis, and seamlessly coordinated treatment planning in partnership with the MDT.
- Prescribe and monitor psychotropic medication adhering to NICE guidelines and national best practice.
- Lead ward rounds, CPA reviews, and Mental Health Act assessments with compassion and thoroughness.
- Engage families, carers, CMHTs, social care, and education providers to create consistent therapeutic continuity.
- Provide clinical leadership for complex cases, safeguarding concerns, and safeguarding emergencies.
- Contribute to specialist fields such as eating disorder management, mental health recovery strategies, and therapeutic relapse prevention.
