Teaching medical students and psychiatry trainees is also an option.

The Trust is embarking on an ambitious transformation of services within CYPMHS using THRIVE principles. The successful candidate will be encouraged to develop and contribute towards these changes to deliver an effective and compassionate service to young people living across the five boroughs.

All new consultants will be provided with mentoring by experienced consultants to help develop in the role as medical leaders.
