This is a well-established post vacated by a consultant leaving the country. A lot of transformation has taken place on Brookside over recent years to ensure that the service provided is rated as Excellent by CQC.

The successful candidate will be committed to establishing a culture of relational care and collaborative working across the inpatient unit and home treatment team. You will work as a senior clinical lead in the multidisciplinary team and provide direct clinical care to patients. You are expected to demonstrate clinical and strategic leadership and provide supervision to clinicians where appropriate. You will work clinically with young people and their families, and work closely with community CAMHS colleagues in the care of young persons within the service, particularly from the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge, Waltham Forest and Havering. The post holder will also be expected to take a lead on emergency Mental Health Act assessments of CAMHS cases in A&E and the Section 136 suite as required.

There will also be the opportunity for the post holder to further develop links already established with the local acute trust A&E departments and paediatric services to continually improve on services.
