ABOUT US

Our mission is to maximise and advocate for the holistic health of all children, young people and the adults they will become, through world-class research, education and public engagement. The UCL GOS ICH, together with its clinical partner Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, forms the largest concentration of children’s health research outside North America. The 2024-29 GOS ICH strategy focuses on its five scientific programmes. GOS ICH’s activities include active engagement with children and families, to ensure that our work is relevant and appropriate to their needs. GOS ICH generates the funding for our research by setting out our proposals in high quality applications to public, charitable and industrial funding bodies and disseminates the results of our research by publication in the medical and scientific literature, to clinicians, policy makers and the wider public. The Institute offers world-class education and training across a wide range of teaching and life learning programmes which address the needs of students and professional groups who are interested in and undertaking work relevant to child health. GOS ICH holds an Athena SWAN Charter Gold Award.

We have a vibrant and flourishing Masters course in Child and Adolescent Mental health offering modules in Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Adolescent Mental Health, Treatment –both Psychological and Pharmacological Therapies, International Child Mental Health, Mental Health in Schools, Adaptations and Wellbeing as well as a Research Methods module. Our students also undertake a Research project. The successful applicant would provide teaching and academic support to students as part of our experienced teaching team.
