Job overview
Following new investment, a new permanent Speciality Doctor post has been created to work across the Liaison and Crisis (CLiC) and Brief Intervention Service /Home Treatment Team in CAMHS.
CAMHS Liaison and Crisis (CLiC) Team
The established crisis service provides integrated, high-quality assessment, support, and interventions to young people who are at risk of immediate and significant self-harm; are an immediate and significant risk to others due to their mental health; are being considered for admission to a mental health inpatient unit; are in acute psychological or emotional distress that is causing them to not be able to undertake their daily activities, such as going to school and looking after themselves. The liaison and crisis team works closely with the three Oxleas community CAMH services, to ensure a coordinated approach to care and careful transition.
CAMHS Brief Intervention Service / Home Treatment Team (HTT)
There are active plans in place to expand the pathway to include a Brief Intervention and Home Treatment Team by Autumn 2024. The post holder will be part of the exciting new development of this service.
There will be opportunities for the SAS doctor to offer training and development within the Crisis pathway.
Main duties of the job
The nature of the work of the full time SAS doctor working in the Crisis/HTT teams will be to support with assessment of complex young people who present in crisis or are at risk of admission and involve managing the interface with CAMHS and acute hospital departments. They will also be expected to work closely with the consultant psychiatrist to help develop the team and service and engage in appropriate supervisory structures.
Within the expanded service, the expectation of the SAS Doctor is to assess and lead on risk management of 6 high risk complex crisis cases a week in A&E, along with 4 follow ups/reviews of young people needing brief intervention and home treatment.
Oxleas supports Specialty Doctors to pursue their career development and offers teaching opportunities and support with MRCPsyc and CESR applications where desired. SAS doctors are actively supported by the SAS Tutor.
