Are you a clinician, ready to develop your leadership skills?

We're looking for a Duty Lead within the Oxford South Community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) team, who will be responsible for duty requests on behalf of the CAMHS Getting More Help service. With many changes to duties, this is an exciting time for South CAMHS. The duty lead is essential to implementing these changes, which directly enhance the experience of service users.

The duty rota is made up of other qualified CAMHS Clinicians who work regularly alongside you as the Duty Lead. These Clinicians are rostered in as part of their core responsibilities within the Community team.

As the Duty Lead, you will be responsible for overseeing duty, responding to calls and participating in the urgent assessments of young people that are undertaken each day. You will organise duty assessments according to the individual Clinician's experience and clinical need of the patient.

This opportunity is for an experienced Clinician to develop their clinical leadership skills and support the Clinical Team Manager by overseeing duty and identifying patients that need to be seen sooner or to use their clinical expertise to help resolve a situation before the point of crisis.

As the post holder, you will work closely with all Oxford South CAMHS Getting Help and Getting More Help staff and the Oxfordshire Crisis Response and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT).
