BSMHFT is one of the largest mental health Foundation Trusts in the country, providing services to a culturally and socially diverse population. The secure care and offender health programme offers medium and low secure inpatient services for men, women and adolescents across the West Midlands. As the lead provider for Reach Out, the West Midlands Provider Collaborative, we have significantly expanded our forensic community outreach service and reduced the numbers of people from the West Midlands in secure beds. We also provide prison healthcare and a range of smaller community‑based clinical services.

We are seeking to recruit a consultant forensic psychiatrist to work within the women's secure service based at Ardenleigh. It is an established service that provides inpatient services to women from the West Midlands who have complex mental health needs and require treatment in conditions of security. The successful candidate will join two existing Consultant Forensic Psychiatrists in the women's service.

You will provide medical leadership to a multidisciplinary clinical team within a shared leadership framework in which the contributions of all are valued. You will deliver excellent clinical care for inpatients to an indicative caseload of 10 patients. The service is currently developing dedicated women's community step‑down accommodation in partnership with a local women’s charity. It is anticipated the post holder will retain Consultant responsibility for an average of 2 patients during the initial six months of discharge. The post also involves undertaking assessments for women referred to the service and a weekly prison clinic at HMP Foston Hall (a women’s prison).

You will contribute as a senior leader to the further development of the service, and work with colleagues within the provider collaborative to support the commissioning and delivery of secure mental health care across the region. There will be opportunities to take on additional clinical sessions, pursue relevant clinical interests, and many of our current consultants have additional leadership roles within our large and diverse Trust.

Welcome to Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. Our 4,000 clinical and support staff help us to improve mental health wellbeing and meet the needs of the 70,000 people we serve each year. We provide a range of mental healthcare services across Birmingham and Solihull, as well as specialised services nationally. We also offer medical, nursing and psychology training and are proud of our international reputation for both research and innovation.

Our population is culturally diverse, characterised in places by high levels of deprivation which create an increasing demand for our services and a necessity for us to make sure everyone can access the help they need. We are a team of compassionate, inclusive and committed people working together to provide excellent care to support our community. If you are looking for a place to belong, where you can make a real difference to people’s lives, join our team where our warm welcome is waiting for you.
