Job description

Psychiatry Registrar for Private Practice

Private Therapy Clinic Ireland, a private mental health practice, is looking for a compassionate, motivated Psychiatry Registrar to join our team. This is a private practice role, not an HSE post, and it is hybrid. You'll see patients in person at our flagship clinic on Nassau Street, Dublin, opposite Trinity College, and do some consultations online.

Pay: approximately €75 per hour for online consultations and approximately €110 per hour for in-person consultations (self-employed contractor rate).

About us

Private Therapy Clinic has provided private mental health care in the UK since 2011. Our clinicians work across the UK, and we also deliver NHS assessment contracts. We launched Private Therapy Clinic Ireland in 2024. We now offer private psychiatry, psychology and therapy in person in Dublin, Limerick and Nenagh, and online across Ireland. In Ireland, we're a busy private practice. We see many clients with ADHD, as well as children and adults with mild to moderate mental health conditions. Our team is kind and compassionate, and we pull together to meet the challenges of supporting a wide range of people.

The role

• One-to-one mental health consultations, in person at Nassau Street and online, under the supervision of senior clinicians
• Private prescribing under the supervision of our Lead Consultant Psychiatrist, Professor Ahmed Hankir
• Prescribing for patients of one of our advanced nurse prescribers
• In-house training to carry out neurodiversity (ADHD and autism) assessments
• Self-employed contractor role, with a minimum of 4 hours per week. We can offer as many hours as you'd like, and more is welcome.
• Pay: approximately €75 per hour online and €110 per hour in person

Essential qualifications and registration

• Primary medical degree (e.g. MB BCh BAO or equivalent)
• Current registration with the Irish Medical Council (IMC) in the General Division or Specialist Division, in good standing with no restrictions
• At least 3 years' post-internship clinical experience in psychiatry, including adult and/or child and adolescent work
• Either completion (or near completion) of Basic Specialist Training (BST) in Psychiatry with the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland, current Higher Specialist Training (HST) at Senior Registrar level, or equivalent experience as a non-training-scheme psychiatry registrar
• Membership exam passed (MCPsychI or MRCPsych) is highly desirable
• Experience with ADHD, autism and complex mental illness. Assessment training isn't essential, because we'll train you.
• Your own private medical indemnity insurance covering private prescribing, including controlled drugs used in ADHD treatment
• Willingness to register with Healthmail
• Garda vetting, or willingness to obtain it
• Ability to travel to our Nassau Street clinic in Dublin
• Candidates employed by the HSE should ensure they have permission for external private practice
• Psychotherapy training or counselling experience
• Experience working with children and adolescents

About you

• Passionate about mental health, with a real understanding of neurodiversity
• Extremely compassionate
• A fast learner who is keen to keep developing their knowledge
• A committed team player. Although this is a contractor role, being part of the team really matters to us.
• This is a chance to gain valuable private-practice and neurodiversity experience for your portfolio. You'll learn from senior clinicians in a supportive, flexible, hybrid setting.
