Job description

Consultant Psychiatrist – Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CYPMHS)

Are you passionate about transforming young lives through expert psychiatric care? Join Rhodes Wood Hospital, a supportive and experienced team as a Consultant Psychiatrist within our Tier 4 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CYPMHS), providing specialist care for young people aged 12 to 18 with eating disorders. You will work in a service that delivers evidence-based, individualised treatment programmes designed to meet each young person’s unique needs.

As a CYPMHS Consultant Psychiatrist, you will review referrals, conduct admission assessments, and ensure effective management plans are in place. You will lead risk assessments, oversee physical health evaluations, and provide clinical leadership, supervision, and reflective practice for key workers within the team. Your role will include supervising non‑training grade doctors and psychiatric trainees, participating in the on‑call rota (currently 1 in 6), and supporting cross‑cover arrangements for colleagues during leave periods.

You will uphold governance standards, maintain accurate records, and ensure culturally competent practice aligned with safeguarding requirements. Collaboration is key—you will establish strong working relationships with GPs, CYPMHS community teams, commissioners, and other stakeholders to ensure continuity of care. Participation in clinical governance, annual appraisal, and CPD is essential, alongside an interest in research and teaching to support service development.

Responsibilities

• Review referrals and determine appropriateness for admission.
• Conduct admission assessment and ensure effective management plans.
• Participate in the assessment and management of children and young people referred to the Service.
• Conduct risk assessment and review regularly.
• Assess physical health.
• Provide leadership, supervision, reflection, and risk management to the key workers on the team.
• Abide by, and contribute to, the governance arrangements and processes of the service.
• Supervise non‑training grade doctors and psychiatric trainees allocated to the teams.
• Enact cross cover arrangements for annual, study and professional leave, with the other child and adolescent psychiatrists in the department.
• Participate in the CYPMHS Consultant on‑call duty rota.
• Participate in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as approved by the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
• Express interest in research and a willingness to supervise trainees (encouraged).
• Establish effective working relationships with GPs, CYPMHS community teams, specialists and commissioners.
• Uphold the principles of Clinical Governance and adhere to the organisation’s clinical governance requirements.
• Take part in an Annual Appraisal Programme, with the development of Personal Development Plans focused on Continuing Professional Development.
• Adhere to all the organisation’s policies and procedures.
