This post is for a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, 7 Programmed Activities, in the All Age Eating Disorder Service, based at Orchards Health Centre, Gascoigne Road, Barking, IG11 7RS. This is a replacement substantive post of 7 Programmed Activities (PAs) with a ratio of 5.25 Direct Clinical Care (DCC) to 1.75 Supporting Professional Activities (SPA).
The purpose of the job description is to outline the level of responsibility and accountability of this post.

The postholder will provide senior medical leadership and specialist medical input within the Eating Disorder Service, supporting high-quality assessment, formulation, diagnosis, and treatment planning in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team.

The consultant will be expected to provide guidance and supervision to the team, work directly with children and young people, and their families, and liaise as appropriate with other external CAMHS mental health providers, local community paediatric services, and acute hospitals.
