Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust are looking to recruit two Consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist to join our Wirral CYPMHS Team within the Birch Centre, Birkenhead. The successful candidates will join the 0-18 partnership team.

The children and young people’s care group within CWP has redesigned community CAMHS services in 2022, to allow greater flexibility for the workforce and to improve patient flow through the system. The core features of this redesign included the implementation of a new model of care that separates out Access components (which includes new services including the Mental Health Support Teams in schools) from Partnership work. The Thrive model is a point of reference for this framework.

Following redesign the new teams have consolidated into four locality-based services: Wirral, West Cheshire, Central Cheshire and East Cheshire with the Central Cheshire service operating out of two bases.

The Wirral children and young peoples mental health service offer is comprehensive including, an access team, 0-18 team, Eating disorder team, Learning Disability and autism  adhd assessment team, Intensive Support Function and MHST (Mental Health Support Teams), and an urgent Support Team with 24 hour crisis line. There is a strong network of consultant child psychiatry peers within the trust.
