We are looking for an outstanding consultant psychiatrist to join our Community Mental Health Service.
Our CMHS are recognised for the proactive, close working links with community providers and you will form a part of a service that prides itself on working collaboratively with colleagues in primary and secondary care. Likewise, the service also provides excellent, high-quality supervision to non-training grade doctors and psychiatric trainees allocated to the team.
Main duties of the jobAs a consultant in the community service, you will be responsible for providing high-quality care to community patients via outpatient clinics. As a senior clinician, you will be at the core of decision-making in patient care and service provision, working closely with both medical and operational management. You will be forward-thinking and able to provide sound clinical leadership to the experienced multi-disciplinary team with ease.
About usEmploying only 44 senior grade doctors, LSW has a unique ability to provide doctors with job plans that are exclusively tailored to suit successful applicants. Additional opportunities are often available in research, appraisals, and audit, to name just a few. As a senior doctor, you will take an active awareness in LSW management, sharing advice and contributing to senior meetings as appropriate. With a robust Clinical Leadership Management structure, doctors are supported and encouraged to apply for roles to enhance their growth, be it as an Education or Clinical Supervisor or a member of the Medical Management Team. We are committed to fully supporting our doctors to stay connected to what interests them, even outside of their field of specialty, to ensure a career that stays stimulating and unique.
We believe in our doctors and your ability to contribute to the development of the organisation as a whole. As one of the UK's only providers of physical, mental, and social healthcare services for people of all ages and one of the UK's largest health and social care Community Interest Companies, we know our staff are our biggest asset. LSW is rated good and outstanding in areas by the CQC and our staff are committed to improve on ratings year on year. We are also an extremely proud partner of the Peninsula Medical School (a joint venture between Plymouth and Exeter Universities).
Interviews will be held on w/c 28 Oct 2024.
