This is an exciting opportunity to work in the diverse London borough of Tower Hamlets. The post is based across two sites: Acute inpatient services (Roman Ward- female and Lea Ward- male) based at the Tower Hamlets Centre for Mental Health at Mile End Hospital and the Isle of Dogs Neighbourhood Mental Health Team (NMHT). This post has become available as the previous doctor left the post. The service base is mainly on the wards and this is very central to the borough with good bus and Tube connections. The NMHT is based in the Isle of Dogs, E14.

Other duties might involve diagnostic and treatment reviews and mental and physical treatment administration. Attendance to MHRT as appropriate and supervised by the RC may be required from time to time and a good knowledge of the MHA (2007) is required.
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
