Job overview
Please note, if a high volume of applications is received, this advert may close early so please ensure you submit your application without delay.
This is a great opportunity for a full-time (10PA) Specialty Doctor for a new 14 bedded Male PICU, based in Derby.
We are currently undertaking a programme to create purpose-built facilities to improve the safety, privacy, and dignity for our adult acute mental health patients, by eradicating dormitory accommodation. As part of the programme, we are building a new state-of-the-art Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) on our Kingsway Hospital, Derby site.
This will be a 14 bedded male PICU focused on therapeutic interventions and will deliver care to the national standard of PICU recommendations. The unit is due to open in approximately November 2024, therefore this will be a great opportunity for you to shape the service and build the team along with the Consultant, Ward Manager, and other senior leaders.
Advert
The successful applicant will take a key role in the department, providing clinical leadership with the Consultant and those within the Working Age Adult Acute Directorate, with whom they will work and support current and future service developments.
Working in accordance with our people first approach you will lead by example, acting as a role model within a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) to ensure the highest level of clinical standards. You will ensure, along with the Consultant and Ward Manager, that the team provides safe, effective therapeutic care within a specialist newly purpose-built ward environment.
The unit will support patients with mental health conditions who need intensive treatment and support as an inpatient, provided within a safe and stable environment for their recovery. You will support the Consultant and the wider MDT to create an environment where we are able to acknowledge our service users' cultures, life experiences, protected characteristics and their strengths to help promote their recovery.
The culture and ethos of approach within our PICU is to ensure that co-production of care with our service users is an essential and key part of their recovery journey. The MDT will involve both the service users, their carers, alongside clinicians and practitioners as well as external agencies to ensure that individual recovery care plans are individual, co-produced, therapeutic, and effective.
