The post offered is a consultant position in old age psychiatry in Pearl Ward based at Highgate East Mental Health Centre.
Pearl Ward is a 15 bedded ward primarily for older adults with functional mental illnesses, such as psychosis, mania, and depression. One of the 10 PAs is for once weekly ECT. The ECT service has grown recently, so it would be useful to have an additional consultant involved in this. The responsibility includes supporting the ECT team with administering ECT to patients throughout the unit. There will be an opportunity to develop your ECT skills with the team.
This post has arisen because of the previous post-holder going on maternity leave. The post is available now.
The role of the Consultant is to be the clinical lead of the team and to ensure high-quality, patient-centered, effective, safe, and efficient care is delivered by the team.
Key Responsibilities:
Provide clinical leadership and act as the Responsible Clinician for patients detained under the Mental Health Act. Oversee the delivery of ECT sessions in line with best practice and accreditation standards. Supervise and mentor junior doctors, contributing to their growth and development. Engage actively in teaching, research, and quality improvement initiatives. Why Choose Us?
State-of-the-Art Facilities: Work in the newly opened Highgate East Mental Health Unit, designed to foster recovery in a supportive and innovative environment. ECT Expertise: Contribute to our growing ECT service, with opportunities to enhance your skills and work alongside experienced professionals. Collaborative Care Pathway: Be part of an integrated service that prioritizes home-based care, reducing inpatient admissions and empowering patients. Commitment to Development: Access robust CPD opportunities, dedicated SPA time, and support for quality improvement projects. What We Offer: A full-time, 10 PA post (7.5 DCC, 2.5 SPA), with flexibility for part-time arrangements. Competitive salary and benefits, including London Weighting. Comprehensive support for revalidation and appraisal through our designated body. A fixed-term 12-month contract with the potential for a substantive role.
