6 days ago

Watford Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

This post is vacant as the existing post holder has moved into a different post outside the trust. This post involves providing clinical leadership to one of the South-West Community Mental Health Team (based in Watford) providing diagnostic assessments and treatment to service users with severe, complex, and high-risk psychiatric conditions. South-West Community Mental Health Teams cover two borough localities in South West Hertfordshire - Watford and Three Rivers borough locality with a population of around 200,000 is covered by the team based at Colne House in Watford, and Hertsmere borough locality with a population of around 100,000 is covered by the team based at Civic Offices in Borehamwood. This post holder will be based in Colne House in Watford. Clinical work such as outpatient clinics will take place at Colne House but may also take place in another Trust location or other community destinations such as at service user's home, in prison or in police stations.

Main duties of the job

The team expects to receive on average 30-40 new referrals a week. It is expected that all team members (apart from the support workers) carry roughly equivalent numbers of cases as care co-ordinators, between 30 and 35 patients. The consultant psychiatrist is expected to carry a compact caseload of the most complex and unstable cases but will also be available at short notice to provide consultation and advice to other team members, although they are not required to act as care co-ordinator. The consultant has currently 2 patients admitted to inpatient wards and 4 patients on CTO in the community. The team has a caseload of around 1500 service users split between CPA and standard levels of care and the team caseload includes medical outpatient clinic caseload. The post holder will carry an outpatient clinic case load of around 80 service users. The post-holder will work with 1 full time specialty doctor who requires monthly supervision.

Job responsibilities

  1. To manage, appraise and give professional supervision to junior medical staff as agreed by consultant colleagues and the medical director and in accordance with the Trusts personnel policies and procedures. This may include assessing competences under the Modernising Medical Careers framework.
  2. To ensure that junior medical staff working with the post holder operate within the parameters of the New Deal and are Working Time Directive compliant.
  3. To undertake the administrative duties associated with the care of patients.

  5. To participate in service and business planning activity for the locality and, as appropriate, for the whole mental health service.
  6. To participate in annual appraisal for consultants.
  7. To attend and participate in the academic programme of the Trust and the team including lectures and seminars as part of the internal CPD programme.
  8. To maintain professional registration with the General Medical Council, Mental Health Act Section 12(2) approval, and to abide by professional codes of conduct.
  9. To participate annually in a job plan review with the clinical manager, which will include consultation with a relevant manager in order to ensure that the post is developed to take into account changes in service configuration and delivery associated with modernisation.
  10. To work with local managers and professional colleagues in ensuring the efficient running of services and share with consultant colleagues in the medical contribution to management.
  11. To comply with the Trusts agreed policies, procedures, standing orders and financial instructions, and to take an active role in the financial management of the service and support the medical director and other managers in preparing plans for services.
  12. To liaise with primary care colleagues including providing advice to Primary Care Nurses and Additional Role Reimbursement Workers (ARRS) workers dedicated to the Primary Care Network (PCN).
