In 2019, we moved into a new, modern, high secure facility that meets national and local policy requirements. The environment is designed to maximize the delivery of modern clinical care while ensuring safety and security for patients, staff, visitors, and the public.

We are seeking a forensic psychiatrist who is enthusiastic, committed to providing high-quality care, possesses proven clinical and leadership skills, and can manage highly complex patients in a secure setting. The role includes a pro-rata annual recruitment and retention payment of £21,678.

Opportunities exist for research, quality improvement projects, and career development.

Main duties include acting as Responsible Clinician for patients on ISAT wards, providing clinical leadership to multidisciplinary teams, training as a clinical supervisor, participating in non-resident on-call duties, assessing referred patients, liaising with stakeholders, and engaging in quality improvement and audit projects.

West London NHS Trust is a diverse healthcare provider, operating Broadmoor Hospital, one of the three high secure hospitals in the UK, with an international reputation. Our services include high, medium, and low secure care across London and the South of England, as well as mental and physical health services in various boroughs.
