Consultant Paediatrician, with the Neurodevelopmental Pathway
Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust has been rated as Good by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
We are a responsive and innovative Foundation Trust that places our values of Caring, Safe and Excellent at the heart of everything we do. We take great pride in our staff and believe that investing in you is key to us achieving our vision of outstanding care delivered by outstanding people.
We work with a wide range of partner organisations to deliver care and support to people in their own homes and from a number of hospitals and community bases. We focus on delivering care as close to home as possible for people of all ages across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath and North East Somerset.
Job overview
Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust has been providing a comprehensive CAMHS service in Buckinghamshire for 7 years. The new service is based on the ‘Thrive Model’ and during October 2015 the service transformed away from the traditional CAMHS tiered model to a service strongly influenced by children young people, their parents/carers and stakeholders. The new model is based on ease of access, getting advice, consultation, support, and specialist clinical pathways.
We are seeking a 0.6 WTE Consultant Paediatrician to join our Neurodevelopmental team in the Buckinghamshire CAMH Service. The post is based at the Sue Nichols Centre, 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.
Main duties of the job
The Neurodevelopmental Pathway offers a service to children and young people with a range of neurodevelopmental conditions, with and without mental health co-morbidities. The Consultant Paediatrician role would be split across the Neurodevelopmental Assessment Team and the ADHD Clinic, providing expert support to young people and their families as part of a broad and experienced MDT.
We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate their ability to adapt to the changing circumstances of modern mental healthcare provision. We welcome applications from highly motivated colleagues to work collaboratively with our team managers, and to provide leadership and clinical expertise to our highly skilled and committed multidisciplinary teams. The teams are dynamic and forward-looking with a wide range of disciplines working together in a highly collaborative, multi-skilled and effective way.
