Job overview
As a Consultant Psychiatrist, you will join the Thanet Community Mental Health Team, which has a dedicated Duty team, assessment, and CAPA assessment team. There is a robust system of medical support to the team to ensure medical leadership.
The Trust regards this as an opportune moment to develop the functioning of the team. The service covers the eastern area of the town, an area of particular social deprivation with considerable drug and alcohol-related difficulties in the local population. You will carry no responsibility for inpatients.
You will learn to interact with other specialties such as the Mother and Infant Mental Health team and Neuropsychiatry.
Successful applicants will ideally have MRCPsych or equivalent and be on, or within six months of inclusion on, the Specialist Register. You will be fully registered with the GMC and have Approved Clinician status and S12 approval under the Mental Health Act (or achieve this within 3 months of appointment).
Main duties of the job
* Conduct assessment and treatment of mental health conditions under the secondary mental health services.
* Manage, appraise, and provide professional supervision to junior medical staff as agreed with consultant colleagues and the medical director, in accordance with the Trust’s personnel policies and procedures. This may include assessing competences under the Modernising Medical Careers.
* Participate in service and business planning activities for the locality and, as appropriate, for the whole mental health service.
* Work with local managers and professional colleagues to ensure the efficient running of services, sharing with consultant colleagues in the medical contribution to management.
* Undertake the administrative duties associated with the care of patients.
* Attend and participate in the academic programme of the Trust, including lectures and seminars as part of the internal CPD programme.
