Summary
A Vacancy at Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
We are seeking a dynamic and enthusiastic Specialty Grade Doctor to work on one of our General Adult Acute Mental Health Wards in the Small Heath Area of Birmingham (10 PAs).
Newbridge House is a 16-bedded female acute admission ward. It is based on a hospital site adjacent to the Tamarind forensic mental health unit and older adult community services. It is close to the Birmingham Heartlands Medical Hospital.
The ward is led by a full-time ward manager and a consultant psychiatrist who is currently serving as a clinical director. There is also a postgraduate doctor in training (GPVTS) and a higher trainee (ST doctor) although the latter post may not always be filled.
The successful candidate will support the running of the ward under the supervision of the consultant and will provide senior cover for when the consultant is engaged in clinical director duties.
The successful candidate will be highly motivated, energetic and passionate about delivering high quality care to patients with acute and chronic psychiatric conditions, ensuring that assessment and interventions are optimised and provided in a sensitive, accessible and culturally appropriate way.
The candidate will be expected to be on site daily to support the safe running of the ward. There will be dedicate office space and equipment such as a laptop, docking station and telephone.
Daily patient reviews and assessment of new patients will sit alongside MDTs that will ensure every patient receives a full MDT review at least weekly.
Section 12 is desirable to support MHA responsibilities as is experience in writing tribunal reports and representing the hospital for MHA tribunals.
Thank you for expressing an interest in our Trust.
Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (BSMHFT) provides a comprehensive mental healthcare service for residents of Birmingham and Solihull and to communities in the West Midlands and beyond.
Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK and as a result brings with it a whole range of cultural, social, sporting and leisure opportunities. It is one of the youngest cities in Europe which adds to the vibrancy of the area.
We operate out of more than 50 sites and serve a culturally and socially diverse population of 1.2 million spread over 172 square miles. We have an annual budget of £240 million and a dedicated workforce of over 4,000 staff – making us one of the largest and most complex Mental Health Foundation Trusts in the country. Our catchment population is ethnically diverse and characterised in places by high levels of deprivation, low earnings and unemployment. These factors create a higher requirement for access to health services and a greater need for innovative ways of engaging people from the most affected areas.
.
The position requires full GMC registration and we are looking for candidates with at least two years' experience in general adult psychiatry to work in a busy acute psychiatric ward for inpatients. The post-holder will be part of a medical team of a ward consisting of a Consultant Psychiatrist and up to two Trainee Doctors. The post-holder will contribute to and help the trainees with their development as well as contribute to cover when the consultant is absent. Applicants should have experience of team working, possess sound organisation skills and be able to work on their own initiative. Effective communication and empathic skills are essential, and a commitment to outstanding patient care.
Additional opportunities for the post-holders:
• Attendance at SAS monthly forum
• One to one supervision with a Consultant
• Participation in local CPD activities
• 1.5 SPAs per week
• This post is designed to equip doctors who want to develop toward further progression in their professional career through multiple opportunities.
