**About the Endeavour Team**
The Endeavour Neurodevelopmental Psychiatry Team is a specialist assessment and consultation team that completes assessments of ELMHS clients who experience complexities in neurological, developmental, behavioural, and psychiatric domains.
What sets the Endeavour Team apart from other assessments conducted across ELMHS, is the practice of joint assessment and formulation that allows expert consesus for complex ases. Young people and families referred to Endeavour have often had a range of previous assessments and the referral to Endeavour represents an identified need in referrers for joint clinical assessment and formation of often very complex issues. Joint assessment refers to assessment completed by two or more clinicians within the Endeavour Team - often of different discipline backgrounds. The model is used flexibly and aims to holistically contribute to a broad understanding of a young person's presentation and needs. For example, the members of the multidisciplinary team and the number of sessions required are determined based on the needs of the young person, family, referrer, and others; however, the principle of joint formulation is consistent across all Endeavour assessments. Engaging in a joint formulation process leads to recommendations that support the health and wellbeing of the young person, their family and their relevant community supports
**About The Role**
This role will provide senior clinical leadership, mentoring and role modelling to the Endeavour Team with a focus on contributing to the development of robust evidence-based models and systems of care, research and evaluation programs, monitor outcome measures and clinical KPIs.
