The Leeds and York Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to appoint a part-time Consultant Psychiatrist in Working Age Adult Psychiatry to work at the Rough Sleepers Mental Health Team based in Leeds.
Within Leeds, we know that people who sleep rough experience a number of difficulties in accessing mainstream mental health (MH) services for various reasons, including the inability to adhere to planned appointments and substance misuse. However, we have excellent support provision and there are a number of services in Leeds working together around street homelessness, including from the Local Authority, VCSE sector, and NHS.
This is an exciting new role within a newly funded service for those rough sleeping ‘and at risk of’. The model has been co-produced with partners/practitioners across the sector working with those experiencing street homelessness. This service also aims to build on the small number of pilots to address barriers to accessing mental health services using a psychological trauma-informed approach. The post holder will be joining a new multi-disciplinary team within the Working Age Adult Community Services.
