Job Advert Role Description
We don’t just talk about putting employees first. We know that Priory wouldn’t exist without their combined energy, expertise and effort. So we invest heavily in training, provide first-class support, promote collaborative teamwork and give everyone on our team the opportunities and resources to achieve their full potential.
Priory Hospital Arnold is a purpose built 52 bedded acute mental health hospital, comprising of two adult acute wards and 2 Psychiatric Intensive Care Units. At Priory Hospital Arnold our main focus is on patient experience right from the point of referral through to discharge and follow on support. We provide services for local NHS patients and out of area patients from the NHS. As an employer, we are committed to ensuring the staff who chose to work with us have an excellent and supportive experience. We are a warm, welcoming and friendly team who all share the same goal- we are all committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for the people who use our service. And we do this with care, compassion and kindness embedded through everything that we do.
We have recently been awarded a CQC rating of "good"
Our approach
The treatment programmes at Priory Arnold aim to optimise patient recovery and potential by treating and minimising risk behaviours and by enabling them to develop psychological / emotional, social and occupational skills and resilience.
All interventions aim to help the patient to understand the effect of their behaviour on others, to help them to manage the impact of external triggers on their behaviour and ultimately to promote the concept of recovery. These interventions include:
1. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)
2. Mental health awareness group
3. Individual and group psychological therapy
4. Managing anger programme (MAP)
5. Drug and alcohol programme
6. Relationship programme (social skills)
7. Coping skills programme
8. Problem solving therapy
Our structured approach to care explicitly acknowledges and supports the issue of change (or readiness for change) and is essential for successful engagement and treatment.
Due to internal moves, we now have a vacancy for a dedicated full-time Consultant Psychiatrist for our acute mixed ward. The salary is negotiable and a suitable candidate could be considered for the Medical Director position.
The service will accept admissions 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from Nottinghamshire NHS but also from other parts of the United Kingdom. We seek to appoint a highly-motivated Consultant Psychiatrist to complement our existing medical work force. As a Consultant Psychiatrist you would lead a multidisciplinary team of professionals from nursing, clinical psychology, social work and occupational therapy and a Specialty Doctor who will form part of the MDT.
The successful candidate will be joining an expanding and clinically diverse Priory North Region. There is strong governance structure within the Region and the successful applicant will be expected to take an active role in service and quality development activities and to participate in governance meetings and Service Line meetings, as necessary.
Priory Arnold operates a non-residential medical on call rota and the post holder is expected to participate on the on-call rota which is on a second on call basis, 1:7
Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry from date of interview or eligibility for specialist registration (CESR).
