The Cass Review recommended that gender service staff should maintain a broad clinical perspective by working across related NHS services, so that the care of children and young people with gender-related distress is within the broader context of child and adolescent health. We encourage part time applications from staff already working in other NHS services.
The service is delivered by a wide multi-disciplinary team. Children and young people receive an in-depth assessment of their needs, and a care plan is developed, offering them a range of care interventions. Our team also liaises with health professionals in local services nearer to the child or young person.
The Children and Young People’s Service (London) is delivered by a partnership of Evelina London Children’s Hospital (part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust), Great Ormond Street Hospital, and the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
