A Vacancy at Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
It is an exciting time to join us to work as a Consultant Psychiatrist with Older People in our Specialist Dementia and Frailty Community Mental Health Team in the North of Birmingham.
The base will be Reservoir Court in the Erdington Area of Birmingham. It includes an inpatient unit for older adults and has CMHT offices for older adults and outpatient clinics.
You will join one other Consultant in the North Community Hub as well as two Specialty Doctors, resident doctors, a Team Manager, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, CPNs, Clinical Psychologist, OTs, HCAs, Receptionist and team admin.
We invite applications from motivated and appropriately qualified candidates to join a team of ten community consultants, three inpatient consultants and a Trust wide Memory Assessment and Rare Dementia Service.
You will require a CCT in Older Adult Psychiatry (or equivalent) or be within six months of the award of a CCT (or equivalent).
This role will involve assessments, management and treatment of patients mostly over 65 years of age which includes both organic and functional presentations. You will need to be committed to provide both outpatient appointments and home visits, along with attending care homes and nursing homes across the catchment area. Duties will also include emergency and urgent clinical assessments, Mental Health Act assessments, supervision of resident doctors in the team and working as an MDT with all professional colleagues within and outside the team.

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.
