Have you got exceptional clinical skills to support young people's mental health? Our vision is to make a positive difference to young people's lives by providing the highest quality mental health to our local communities, to help them overcome some of life's challenges. ELFT have an exciting opportunity for a vibrant Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist to join our CQC rated Outstanding Foundation Trust.
Main duties of the job
