We are seeking an experienced and compassionate CAMHS Specialty Doctor to join a multidisciplinary service supporting children and young people with a broad range of emotional, behavioural and mental health needs. This is an opportunity to contribute to high-quality, recovery-focused care while working collaboratively with families, carers, education providers and partner agencies.
The postholder will undertake comprehensive psychiatric assessments, formulate diagnoses and develop individualised treatment plans in partnership with young people and those involved in their care. Responsibilities will include medication reviews and prescribing where appropriate, risk assessment and management, clinical reviews, and providing advice to colleagues across the service. You will contribute to the planning and delivery of evidence-based interventions and ensure that care is coordinated effectively across relevant services.
You will participate in multidisciplinary meetings, clinical supervision, case discussions and service development activities. The role also involves maintaining accurate, timely clinical records, preparing reports and communicating clearly with professionals, young people and families. You will be expected to contribute to safeguarding processes, clinical governance, audit and quality improvement, while practising in accordance with professional standards, local policies and legal requirements.
Applicants should hold full registration with the General Medical Council and have relevant experience in child and adolescent mental health, psychiatry or a closely related specialty. The ability to assess and manage complex presentations, including risk of self-harm, suicide, neglect or abuse, is essential. You should have sound knowledge of relevant mental health legislation and safeguarding procedures, alongside strong communication, clinical reasoning and organisational skills.
We are looking for a doctor who is approachable, resilient and committed to promoting the rights, wellbeing and recovery of children and young people. You will be able to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team, demonstrate a commitment to equality and inclusive practice, and engage positively with service users, families and colleagues. Continuing professional development and reflective practice will be actively supported.
