Summary
A Vacancy at Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
We are looking to recruit a full time, permanent Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist to join our multidisciplinary team at Reaside Clinic, Birmingham.
The post holder will be the Responsible Clinician for a caseload comprising male patients in medium secure care and community patients who have been discharged from secure care.
You will provide medical leadership to a multidisciplinary clinical team, manage referrals into the service from a defined geographical catchment area, and maintain good working relationships with secondary care services in that area.
There will be many opportunities to develop in the role according to interests, and within the secure care and offender health directorate or in the wider Trust.
The post holder will be responsible for managing referrals to the clinical team, liaising with referrers and arranging clinical assessments, in conjunction with the senior nurse working in the team. Clinical assessments will largely be access to care assessments, intended to facilitate the movement of patients along the most appropriate care pathway. Assessments may also be carried out to provide advice on management for patients who do not require admission to secure care but where there are significant concerns about risk.
Welcome to Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. Our 4000 clinical and support staff help us to improve mental health wellbeing and meet the needs of the 70,000 people we serve each year. We provide a range of mental healthcare services across Birmingham and Solihull, as well as specialised services nationally. We also offer medical, nursing and psychology training and are proud of our international reputation for both research and innovation.
Our population is culturally diverse, characterised in places by high levels of deprivation which create an increasing demand for our services and a necessity for us to make sure everyone can access the help they need. We are a team of compassionate, inclusive and committed people working together to provide excellent care to support our community. If you are looking for a place to belong, where you can make a real difference to people’s lives, join our team where our warm welcome is waiting for you.
Please see the full job description for further information.
Applicants will require inclusion on the GMC Specialist Register, or be within six months or the award of a CCST or equivalent in forensic psychiatry.
Applicants will also require substantive experience of psychiatry, potential for leadership and a willingness to be involved in the management of the service.
