The successful applicant will join the three existing consultants. This is an exciting time to join CAMHS with the launch of the service redesign and significant investment into the service. There is opportunity for private practice and a chance to make a real difference to patient outcomes. Situated just 40 minutes flying time from London with excellent transport links to Europe the small beautiful Island of Jersey enjoys great weather, sandy beaches surrounded by soaring cliffs and offers a healthy work-life balance. There are excellent opportunities for a wide range of outdoor activities including sailing, diving, kayaking and paddle boarding. Jersey has the ideal lifestyle and work environment. The post holder will be expected to take on the full range of duties including the routine and emergency diagnosis and management of children and young people with significant mental health problems up to the age of 18, the support of other team members and providing consultation and advice to other agencies. Successful applicants will be encourage to develop a special interest and take a clinical lead in one of the following areas
The service has expanded and continues to develop its service delivery to meet the needs of the community. As a senior clinician you will have opportunity to shape the service and influence child mental health more widely on the island. Full travelling expenses are paid from a UK port of entry, with a generous relocation package available and the appointee may take advantage of Jersey taxation policies. The post attracts residential qualifications and Jersey has excellent affordable private education for children. Under Jersey Law, applicants must possess FULL registration, with the General Medical Council and hold a licence to practise. The Government of Jersey is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable people (to include children) and requires all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As this position will work with vulnerable people, the selection process will involve safeguarding measures and include an enhanced DBS check. Living in Jersey is also financially attractive. We have a flat rate of 22% income tax which compares favourably to the UK and we offer a generous public sector pension scheme, which is not subject to UK lifetime or annual contribution restrictions. The Jersey Consultant Contract is similar to the UK but with a higher level of increments. Subject to satisfactory performance, annual incremental progression is automatic for between points 1 to 17 on the pay scale. Formal applications are required for points 18 to 20. About us
We pride ourselves in delivering high quality care that is patient-centred, safe and effective. We are a vibrant organisation where clinicians are at the forefront of developing and managing services. We offer a wide range of clinical services on the Island and have good links with specialist services in the UK. There is a generous study leave budget which doctors are strongly encouraged to utilize. We are currently planning a new general hospital and new mental health inpatient unit, so the next few years will be an exciting time. There are strong relationships between mental health, primary and secondary care. CAMHS sits under Children Young People and Education Services (CYPES) directorate which enables many opportunities for innovative multi-agency working. However the medical posts line managed and accountable to Health and Care Jersey (HCJ). There are many joint learning and teaching opportunities, based in our modern, purpose-built education centre. We have a rotation of Resident doctors from Health Education Wessex. We welcome clinical research. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of developing a genuinely integrated care system. For applicants appointed at the maximum increment, additional salary up to £213,890 per annum is available through annual panel application once in post. Job responsibilities
