The Priory Group offers services to the private sector as well as to the NHS. Private services are provided by Visiting Consultants. These consultants are not employed by the Priory Group but have practising privileges and as such are entitled to see outpatients on Priory premises and to admit their patients, under their care to Priory private beds. Priory Group has large multidisciplinary teams who are able to provide evidence-based therapies recommended to these private service users, without long waiting lists for the treatment they require. Additionally, Priory has excellent governance processes and ensures a good, safe quality service.

You will be required to provide support and advise nursing staff and hospital management on clinical issues. The role holder will be working in close liaison with other consultant teams and services within the Division as well as having continuing responsibility for the care of patients. You will have an excellent knowledge of Clinical Governance and regulatory requirements and will be qualified with full registration with GMC, as well as having experience working in a substance misuse setting and within a multidisciplinary team.

The Priory group offers a number of other benefits including a strong commitment to personal development. You will develop a private case load in the outpatient department and be given admitting rights to the private wards and therapy centre.

What the role involves:

• Assessing and treating outpatients
• Looking after inpatients under your care
• Working closely with therapists and psychology colleagues
• Adding value through quality and governance involvement
• Developing your business and expanding your practice symbiotically with Priory
• Joining site on-call rota if that works for you
• Networking with colleagues and referrers
• Maintaining professional development and Revalidation

• World class facilities

The role of a visiting consultant offers you the opportunity to build a private outpatient practice, alongside a private inpatient practice. At present, we are particularly looking for both acute and addictions consultants. You will be expected to adhere to Priory Group standards and policies throughout your practice.

‘All roles will be subject to a successful disclosure at an appropriate level from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). Priory Group will cover the cost of a DBS check for all successful applicants.’

Priory Hospital Barnt Green is located in the stunning Lickey Hills Country Park, 10 miles south of Birmingham City Centre. We have thirty-three beds across three wards including a ten bedded female NHS Psychiatric Intensive Care, a thirteen bedded mixed gender NHS acute service, and a bedded private acute ward for both men and women. In addition to providing inpatient services, the hospital has a large outpatient department and regional conference facilities.

The hospital opened in March 2022 and this is a fantastic opportunity to join a new and developing team, in a brand new hospital located in a beautiful setting.

Due to limits on sponsorship allocations, we are not currently in a position to offer sponsorship to new candidates for these roles; this remains under review.
