St Mary’s hospital has 67 beds spread across 4 main wards. There is one 17-bedded ward providing Neurorehabilitation services for men with acquired brain injury and mental health symptoms. Another 20-bedded unit is an acute psychiatric facility for men. The other 2 wards provide care to men in secure forensic services, including Adams ward (a medium secure ABI ward) and Dalston ward (a low secure ABI ward).

As a Consultant Psychiatrist, some of your key responsibilities will include managing complex cases, formulating care plans and treatments tailored to individual needs, and guiding evidence-based treatment and assessing effectiveness.

The team currently consists of 3.5 consultants and 1.5 specialty doctors. You will deliver clinical care to a dedicated caseload, supported by a practice nurse, an enhanced GP service, a dedicated supervisor, and a medical secretary team.

As a valued staff member, you will have access to excellent CPD and professional development opportunities. You will work 37.5 hours a week in a clinically rewarding environment, with a highly competitive salary, a pension scheme, and other benefits.

• Assessing new referrals to ensure service needs are met.
• Providing leadership to the clinical team and contributing to clinical governance and service development.
• Maintaining good relationships with external agencies such as community teams and commissioning bodies.
• Contributing to training and education.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

• MRCPsych or equivalent qualification.
• CCT in general adult psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, or Psychiatry of LD; experienced candidates not on the specialist register but with AC status will be considered.
• Interest in clinical Neuropsychiatry; higher qualifications and training are preferable.
