There is an exciting opportunity within the North London NHS Foundation Trust (NLFT) for a General Adult Consultant Psychiatrist to join the Enfield General Adult Services based in Enfield. The role is a post within the Enfield Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT). This service is part of the General Adult Mental Health Services in Enfield supporting the in-patient wards and the Locality Teams in Enfield. The team provides care to working age adult patients with regards to assessment and treatment in the community as an alternative to hospital admission, as a support after discharge and as admission prevention. This post has been submitted for approval to the Royal College of Psychiatrists and this is awaited at present. Main duties of the job
The post is available as the previously substantive consultant left the service and moved to work in another trust. This post is available as a full-time or part-time post depending on candidate preference. If worked on a full-time basis, the post would offer 10 Programmed Activities per week - 7.5 PAs for direct clinical care (DCC) and up to 2.5 PAs for supporting professional activity (SPA). The job plan and ratio of DCC:SPA will be adjusted accordingly for a less than full-time post. The post holder will be required to provide clinical and professional leadership and to take part in related management activities. As a senior clinician, the post holder will have an integral role in the performance of the team(s), further development of the service(s), and the development of clinical pathways and priorities. Job responsibilities
For the post holder this will be nominal cross cover for leave agreed with one of the current consultants working within the Enfield General Adult Services.
