Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust has been providing a comprehensive CAMHS service in Buckinghamshire for 7 years. The newly developed CAMHS service is based on a partnership between Oxford health NHS Foundation Trust (main contract holder) and Barnardos.
The new service is based on the 'Thrive Model' and during October 2015 service transformed away from the traditional CAMHS tiered model to a service strongly influenced by children young people, their parents/carers and stakeholders began. The new model is based on ease of access, getting advice, consultation, support, and specialist clinical pathways.
Main duties of the job
The post has been created to support the further development of the service. The post holder will work alongside a full time consultant and an experienced multidisciplinary team, which includes nurses, dietician, psychologists, family therapist, assistant psychologists and paediatricians. The multidisciplinary team provides comprehensive experience in the assessment and treatment of eating disorders in children and adolescents. Evidence based therapies with young people and their families are used in the service, including, family-based treatment and CBT-E. The successful candidate will be able to obtain supervised experience in family based therapy, CBT, group work and psychopharmacology.
We are seeking to appoint a full time Specialty Doctor to join our Eating Disorders team in the Buckinghamshire Child and Adolescent Mental Health service. The post is mainly based at the Sue Nichols Centre in Aylesbury, but the role is countywide and may require clinical activity at other bases such as High Wycombe or Amersham. The post holder will carry no responsibility for inpatients.
This new substantive speciality doctor post provides an exciting opportunity to be part of the specialist Child and Adolescent Eating Disorder Service in Buckinghamshire.
