We seek to appoint a clinician, with an enthusiasm for General Adult Community Psychiatry to join our team of Psychiatrists in NHS Highland.
This post offers the opportunity for a motivated doctor who enjoys teamwork to be part of a modern service for General Adult Psychiatry to a population spread across Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey (NABS). The post is an integral part of the NABS Community Mental Health team and is well supported by the wider CMHT, Primary care, and Third Sector care providers. The post holder will be supervised by and work alongside a Consultant Psychiatrist with the aim of providing medical assessment, care, and treatment to those with moderate to severe mental disorder. Eligibility for s22. AMP status would be an advantage.
The use of digital technology may open up further opportunity and flexibility to the post holder. The post could be based at New Craigs Hospital, Inverness or NABS CMHT but time will be spent in both places.
There is an enthusiastic peer group of Specialty Doctors in the service which meets regularly; CPD and development of special interests is valued and encouraged.
Interested applicants should contact Dr. Amy MacAskill, Clinical Lead, General Adult Psychiatry, New Craigs Hospital, Inverness on amy.macaskill@nhs.scot. Prospective applicants are most welcome to contact us in order to arrange an informal visit.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
