Summary
North Bristol NHS Trust’s Neuropsychiatry Service, based at The Rosa Burden Centre on the Southmead Hospital campus in Bristol, is a regional specialist service providing inpatient and outpatient care for adults with complex neuropsychiatric conditions. As part of the Neuroscience & Musculoskeletal Directorate, the service works closely with Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neurophysiology and Neuropsychology to deliver integrated, person-centred care pathways, alongside a neuropsychiatric liaison function to acute wards. The service includes a 12-bed inpatient unit (with specialist sleep investigation facilities) and a broad outpatient programme covering conditions such as epilepsy, functional neurological disorders, brain injury, sleep disorders, cognitive impairment and neuropsychiatric aspects of progressive neurological disease. The multidisciplinary team is highly collaborative, working with allied health professionals and regional networks to provide innovative, evidence-based care and support professional development.

The post holder will provide high‑quality, compassionate neuropsychiatric care, maintaining clinical responsibility for patients and contributing to the effective running and development of the service. They will communicate complex and sensitive information clearly to patients, carers and colleagues, and work collaboratively within multidisciplinary and multi‑agency teams to deliver integrated, person‑centred care. The role includes clinical leadership, supervision and support of junior medical staff, and active involvement in teaching, training and mentoring. The post holder will contribute to service and policy development, ensure effective and efficient use of resources in line with Trust policies, and demonstrate an understanding of NHS systems and financial responsibilities. They will promote equality, diversity and inclusive practice, engage in continuous professional development, and participate in supervision, mentorship and appraisal to support both personal development and high standards of patient care.
