Main duties of the job
The post-holder will be working as part of an established multidisciplinary Generic Specialist CAMHS team which working closely together with other disciplines. The service includes Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists, Clinical/ Counselling Psychologists, Child Psychotherapists, Family Therapists, CAMHS Practitioners and Mental Health Nurses. The multi-disciplinary team has had further expansion and recruitment as a result of agreed new commissioning and investment working to offer a full complement of therapeutic interventions and work towards meeting the demands of the service. Currently the multi-disciplinary team have skills to offer Generic and Neurodevelopmental initial assessments /screenings and work across the two areas and we have an identified group of clinicians that have highly specialist skills to support the NDS pathway. Our plan going forward would be to create two pathways in this team- a Generic/Emotional pathway and a Neurodevelopmental pathway. Each MDT clinician holds their own individual clinical caseload.
