The Role

The Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Service in Northampton has an opportunity for a Consultant Psychiatrist to develop and strengthen their experience within Autism services while having the chance to develop research and clinical ideas. St Andrews is also committed to moving patients into the community as soon as possible and has several bespoke properties on site that house individuals transitioning from the hospital into the community. Part of your caseload may therefore also involve working with these patients and helping to prepare them for moving onwards. This service is forward-thinking, open to new ideas, and takes a holistic approach to patient care and treatment.

If you would like to be part of an innovative and dynamic team; be able to develop and deliver up-to-date treatments; and work in a supportive environment, then this is the place for you! This will be a personally and professionally rewarding role. The post-holder will be able to undertake non-clinical activities of interest such as research, teaching, governance, and management in an innovative way, influencing the direction of services to attain the best outcomes for our patients.

You will lead a multi-disciplinary team and oversee the management of patients with often complex needs. You will be able to promote innovation and improvement of services, with scope to develop your specialist interests and grow your remit and responsibilities. You will have an office and the support of an associate specialist as ward doctor, along with a full MDT including Clinical Administrators and Personal Assistants dedicated to your wards and service.

We are looking for an individual who wants a role where they have the autonomy to make decisions that will help improve patient care and outcomes and has a passion for transforming care. Someone who wants to join an organization and be a leader of a team who also shares this passion.
