Description Consultant Psychiatrist in CAMHS with a special interest in CAMHS ID

Locum fixed purpose contract for one year

37 hours per week with the CAMHS ID team

About Role:

The CAMHS ID team at St. Michael’s House provides mental health supports to children and their families with moderate to profound intellectual disabilities in 9 CDNTs, including 4 teams based in St. Michael’s House, two teams based in the CRC and the remaining HSE teams. This aligns with the CAMHS ID Model of Service and should align with CAMHS teams in Dublin North City and West and Dublin North. The service covers a large catchment area in a population of 580,000 (Census 2022). This team and a 0.5 WTE consultant psychiatry post based at Avista provide all of the CAMHS ID psychiatry service for Dublin North and DublinNorth City and West.

Referrals come from the CDNT and the children may be based in special schools or attend a special class in a mainstream school. Psychiatry is usually involved in the assessment of the child and this involves going to schools, homes, etc., for review. If pharmaceutical treatment commences, intensive monitoring takes place. Many of these children are unable to attend a clinic, hence the need to travel.

This post is a special contract of one year duration which is funded by the HSE and St. Michael’s House. It is anticipated that the locum consultant psychiatrist in CAMHS with a special interest in CAMHS ID will work within a CAMHS ID team and will be involved in the assessment and diagnosis, the treatment and the ongoing monitoring of the children in their care.
