We are seeking to recruit a substantive Consultant Psychiatrist to work as part of the Early Intervention Service in South Cumbria. This is a 6 PA post that would be based in Kendal and Barrow in Furness. There will be an expectation that the postholder would join the On Call rota, for which additional remuneration would be payable.
Main duties of the job
Referrals to the Early Intervention Service are made directly by the GPs, or by the Single Point of access, Assessment and Treatment Teams, Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Teams and Tier 4 in-patient services. The referrals are discussed in the allocation meetings and then initial assessments for suitability of EIS, in the majority of cases, are done by case managers. Consultants are involved in initial assessment of complex cases or when a treatment has to be initiated. The consultants in the team do not provide care coordination for the service users; this is provided by other members of the multidisciplinary team.
Applicants should hold full GMC registration and be included on the Specialist register of the GMC or they should be eligible for entry to the Specialist Register within 6 months of the interview date.
It is a requirement that applicants are Section 12 Approved at the time of commencing employment and have or are eligible to have Approved Clinician Status. Remuneration will be as set out in the terms of the New Consultant Contract according to previous experience.
