Summary

A Vacancy at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.


Whatever you’re looking for in your next career move, you’ll find it all at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. Bringing together hospitals and community services from across Manchester, Salford, Trafford & beyond, we’re pooling our knowledge, skills and resources to provide even better care for the diverse communities of our thriving city region. MFT is the largest Foundation Trust in the country and as such means more opportunities for you. With comprehensive services and strong research links, you can advance your specialism, progress your career, and take your knowledge further. We want talented people from all backgrounds to choose to join our diverse teams, and so we’ll support your work-life balance with flexible and agile working options.

Candidates must be eligible for their own GMC registration: an active license, ceased license or pending application with the GMC at the point of application. Candidates who do not fit this criteria will not progress through to the shortlisting stage.

So why not consider your next and best career move at MFT and join us a Consultant Psychiatrist in our CQC rated Outstanding CAMHS Directorate. MFT CAMHS is one of the largest CAMHS and the most comprehensive service in the country. We have received two Outstanding ratings from CQC over the past 4 years and are considered the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ of the Trust.

All our CAMHS teams have a wide mix of skills and experience in their multi-disciplinary teams and enthusiastic, supportive colleagues – so you’d be joining a friendly, highly skilled and cohesive environment. The Consultants across CAMHS meet regularly for academic, professional and social support with a well-respected training scheme for trainees placed across the services.

It goes without saying that you’ll be expected to take part in frontline work and/or on call though, with a large increase in consultant numbers, we anticipate you’ll still have the capacity to make use of the facilities of our large University Hospital and have the time to make the most of working and living.

To start with, job plans will initially consist of 10 PAs comprising 8 PAs direct clinical care and 2 SPAs. That said, we are flexible about the composition of the clinical part of the job plan and would be able to offer more than 2 SPAs to individuals with a substantial interest in teaching or research and will also consider part time working too. Each job plan will be reviewed annually by the Clinical Director.

Resilient, ambitious and innovative, you’ll carry a vibrant ‘can do’ attitude and mirror our values perfectly, with the skill and flexibility to operate at a high pace and overcome individual and organisational obstacles readily, positively and collaboratively. These are truly valuable opportunities to take your career to the next level.

MFT is England’s largest NHS Trust with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our brand-new Electronic Patient Record system which we've launched in September 2022.

We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our new Green Plan which will set out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.

At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.

So that you’re even more equipped to make an informed decision to apply to us, you’ll need to take time to read the ‘Candidate Essentials Guide’that sits with the Job Description and Person Specification. This document provides you with details about the Trust, our benefits and outlines how ‘we care for you as you care for others’. Most importantly, it also contains critical information you’ll need to be aware of before you submit an application form.
