This is a great opportunity to join an established medical team at St Mary’s hospital and make a real difference to men who have enduring mental health and neurocognitive problems from various forms of acquired brain injury.

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, your key responsibilities will include managing complex cases, formulating care plans and treatments tailored to individual service users, and guiding evidence-based treatment and effectiveness.

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

As a valued staff member, you will have access to excellent CPD and professional development opportunities. The role is 22.5 hours per week, in a clinically rewarding environment, with a highly competitive salary, a pension scheme, and other benefits.

6. Providing leadership to the clinical team and contributing to clinical governance and service development.
7. Maintaining good relationships with external agencies such as community teams and commissioning bodies.
8. Contributing to training and education.

To be successful, you’ll need:

1. MRCPsych or equivalent qualification.
2. CCT in general adult psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, or Psychiatry of LD. Candidates with AC status but not on the specialist register will also be considered.
3. Interest in clinical neuropsychiatry; higher qualifications and training are preferable.
4. Full GMC registration and recent appraisal (within 12 months).
5. Section 12 (2) approval and AC status.
