Summary
Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates to work as a Clinical Fellow in our Inpatient Wards in General Adult Psychiatry.
This is for Full time (40 hours per week) posts at South West London and St George’s Mental Health Trust, based at Springfield Hospital, Tooting, London.
This post is being offered at the equivalent of Core Trainee level, and the appointment would be at a grade based on the qualifications and experience of the applicant. The post will be initially for 4 months with the possibility of 4 months extensions at a time, by mutual agreement and subject to availability and funding.

However, the post is suitable for doctors at several stages of their career including Post Foundation Year 2, doctors seeking attainment of specific expertise in an FY3 year, or an additional clinical post while they obtain MRCPsych qualifications.
The post will also suit doctors seeking to enhance their portfolio to gain entry to the training grades and doctors already in non-training Grade positions e.g. SAS doctors or Trust Fellows who are seeking a formal educational structure to their posts.
Training, educational opportunities and appraisal will be available to successful candidates, including attendance at the weekly academic programme.
Out of hours on-call is not a compulsory part of the role, but there may be an opportunity to take part in the on-call rota, if desired and subject to availability. Participation in the Daytime Duty Doctor cover is expected.
