Specialty Grade Doctor - CAMHS ICCS and Crisis Team

This post has been developed for an innovative and enthusiastic Specialty Grade Doctor to provide psychiatry input to the East London CAMHS Crisis Team and ICCS which provides crisis assessments and brief interventions to young people presenting in crisis across the 3 East London Boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets and City & Hackney.

The Crisis team provide assessment and brief intervention to all young people presenting in crisis presenting to the hospital A&E departments, whereas the ICCS see young people at home and in the community supporting Community CAMHS services to provide intensive interventions that are designed to reduce the need for inpatient admission or support discharge from inpatient services. ICCS provides a gatekeeping function to all potential requests for inpatient admission. They liaise closely with the NCEL provider collaborative Patient Flow Team to review all referrals with a view to providing intervention in the community where possible to avoid unnecessary inpatient admissions.

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
