New Starter Package:
£15,000 spread over 3 years as a retention bonus.
Supported by a £12,000 relocation allowance.
Roles also attract a loyalty scheme bonus of £2,500 over the subsequent 5 years of service.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of £2,000 per annum with the facility to accumulate annual funding for up to three years to accommodate accessing higher-cost development opportunities.
Holiday of a Lifetime Scheme:
Consultants and SASG doctors can bank/accrue annual leave over a period of up to 5 years, facilitating an extended period of leave. This scheme enables the opportunity for planning a ‘holiday of a lifetime’ or extended paid break.
This is a great opportunity for an enthusiastic Consultant to provide community secondary mental health services to adults over the age of 25 years with mental health needs requiring specialist assessment and interventions.
There are two adult Community Mental Health teams in the West Norfolk area: one serving the Kings Lynn area and one serving the Downham Market and Swaffham area.
The post has 7.5 programmed direct clinical activity sessions and 2.5 programmed supporting professional activity sessions.
The job plans and working patterns of doctors reflect the functional requirements of the Locality and the National Service Framework for Mental Health and are not determined by catchment area.
All whole-time doctors are expected to work 7.5 Direct Clinical Care (DCC) sessions in one or more of the clinical teams.
Through job planning and agreement, 2.5 sessions of Supporting Professional Activities (SPA) allow for the possibility of a special interest, teaching and research, management duties, administration, and continuing professional development.
These arrangements allow for some flexibility and the opportunity for doctors to change their working patterns and clinical interests as things develop. With regular job plan reviews, it is expected that doctors' roles will be flexible and the focus of the role may change from time to time, e.g., from predominantly in-patient to primary care.
There are 10 consultant psychiatrist posts in West Norfolk, including 3 consultant psychiatrists in the working-age adult community mental health service, 2 consultant psychiatrists working in older adults community services, one consultant psychiatrist in the inpatient service at Samphire Ward, one consultant psychiatrist in the Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment team, and one consultant psychiatrist at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in a liaison service. This has recently been reviewed, and there will be a further consultant psychiatry post developed to meet Core 24 standards. There are also 2 consultant psychiatrists working in the Children, Family and Youth People’s Service, providing community care for people up to the age of 25 years.
The non-consultant workforce in West Norfolk includes 3 Staff and Specialist doctor posts, and up to 9 trainee doctors. NSFT has developed a number of non-medical prescribers to support the clinical workforce in delivering timely and excellent care.
The Community Mental Health Team is made up of multi-professional colleagues, including Nurses, Psychologists, Clinical Support workers, and associate practitioners. The Community Mental Health team also hosts graduate trainees, medical trainees, students, and nursing students.
