Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is looking to recruit a full-time substantive Consultant Psychiatrist. This post is to replace the Neighbourhood Mental Health Team consultant who is leaving. It is based on the Living Well/Neighbourhood Model in Rochdale and is a community post.
This is an exciting time to join the Trust, and there are many opportunities to contribute to the organisation’s development and to look at service redesign models. Rochdale has a very strong teaching commitment, and candidates will be expected to contribute to the teaching of medical and nursing staff. There are close links to ongoing research projects. The Consultants contribute to local service user and carer groups.
The Neighbourhood psychiatrist will offer expert advice to GPs for patients not currently open to secondary care mental health services. The service will advise about medication, signposting to other services and specialties, as well as clinical management and diagnostic advice. The service will be provided on a daily basis, Monday to Friday.
The post holder will work with the NMHT in Rochdale service, providing clinical leadership to the multidisciplinary team. The service is transforming and innovative, so it is anticipated that some work would be managerial and consist of developing and expanding the team, delivering training to new team members, and championing the service with other stakeholders.
- To provide high-quality Mental Health Care for adults with severe and enduring mental health problems within the community.
- To work closely with other teams and Consultants to ensure coherent and high-quality mental health care for adults with severe and enduring mental health problems within the Rochdale area.
- To work with the other Consultants to support the development of the service and to attend local and divisional service development meetings.
The post holder will be based at the Psychiatric Outpatient's department in Rochdale. Rochdale operates an Inpatient-Outpatient model (New Ways of Working) and is staffed by 8 full-time Consultants covering the community, older people services, home treatment team, and the EIT. We also have a complement of very experienced Specialty doctors. Each Consultant is allocated a resident Doctor (NW Deanery training schemes) and/or FY doctors.
Applicants must be on the GMC’s Specialist Register or eligible for inclusion or be within six months of the anticipated award of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in General Adult Psychiatry at the time of interview for the post. Low frequency on-call (1 in 31) with full second tier on call and 1 day off after your on call.
We offer ample opportunities for our consultants’ professional development and opportunities for additional work for additional PAs (require negotiation).
