Summary

A Vacancy at South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust.


PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY

Applications are invited for suitably qualified and experienced candidates who are currently in Core Training or soon to complete their Core Training in Psychiatry to join our team to support the Learning Disability Service.

The vacancy has arisen due to a previous ST4-6 post holder having successfully completed their training and a maternity leave gap. The post [0.8 WTE] is available from August 2024 until February 2025

Our St George’s Higher Specialist Training Scheme in Psychiatry of Learning Disability has 5 approved posts covering the SW London boroughs of:
• Sutton, Merton & Wandsworth (3 posts in total, with SW London & St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust)
• Kingston & Richmond (2 posts, with Your Healthcare)

We also have 3 approved CT1-3 posts in Psychiatry of LD across our St George’s / SW London region.

The successful candidate will have access to formal training academic programmes together with other Health Education England trainees and other personal development opportunities. These posts offer opportunities to be on the middle-grade SW London & St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust on-call rota.

Inclusion on the on call rota is dependent on having or obtaining Section 12 approval status.

All available posts will offer some 'supporting professional activity’ sessions, allowing the successful post holder to further develop their training portfolios to assist them in future career development and progress, according to their individual needs.

This could include engaging in Teaching, Audit, Research or other Specialist Clinical areas.

Our scheme’s six Consultant Psychiatrists in LD are all approved educational supervisors, and have established publication records and active training involvement (e.g. MRCPsych CASC examining).

We are Proud to Belong at South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust.

We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill-health. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as ‘good’ - we aspire to be ‘outstanding’.

This is a great time to join us. We are transforming the way we care for our communities to support our mission of Making Life Better Together. We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world. More developments are planned across our sites and services.

We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.

We offer flexible working, career development and a variety of benefits to enable a positive, welcoming environment in which our people and their careers can thrive.
