A lot of transformation has taken place already and continues to take place in Redbridge's adult mental health services over the past few years. This is a new post to support the team caseload.

This is a substantive, full-time post - 10 Programmed Activities (PAs) post with 7.5 Direct Clinical Contact activities (DCC) and 2.5 Supporting Professional Activities (SPAs).

The postholder will be part of the Senior Psychiatrist on-call rota covering out of hours and weekends for Mental Health Services in NELFT. The on call will cover service delivery for Adults and Older Adults presenting with mental health problems. This rota is currently a 1:50 rota, with a 3% Category A salary supplement. The Trust also has a daytime (9am - 5pm) Section 136 rota, with an approximate frequency of once every 3 months.

The successful candidate will work as part of a multidisciplinary team providing care to adults with mental health needs who are registered with a GP Practice located in the northern part of the London Borough of Redbridge (plus a small number of patients who reside in that part of the Borough but whose GP is elsewhere). This roughly equates to residents of the Electoral Wards named Fairlop on the borough map in Section 3.1 below.

The post holder will be committed to upholding a culture of care and collaborative working in Mental and Health Wellness Teams at Mellmead House. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team and provide direct input to clinical cases. You will be expected to provide clinical leadership and supervision to the team, work directly with patients and their families and liaise as appropriate with Redbridge University Trust (BHRUT) Trust colleagues, and NELFT Older Adult Home Treatment Team, inpatient and community-based colleagues and teams.
