Job overview

Consultant Psychiatrist – Crisis Resolution Intensive Support Service (CRISS)
Location: West Crisis Resolution and Intensive Support Service, St Mary’s Hospital, Armley, Leeds
Contract: Permanent (Fixed-term 12-month applications also welcome)

Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a passionate and committed Consultant Psychiatrist to work within our Crisis Resolution Intensive Support Service (CRISS). This post offers a chance to make a real difference in the lives of working-age adults experiencing acute mental health challenges.

About the Role
The post holder will work alongside three Consultant Psychiatrists as part of the CRISS Team. They will be based at the West CRISS locality at St Mary’s Hospital, Armley, Leeds, with the flexibility to provide Consultant cover to other localities when required.

CRISS became operational in March 2019 and was further enhanced by a significant redesign project, with the new model launching in November 2024. This innovative service adheres to the Core Fidelity Standards for Crisis Resolution services, developed by University College London and the Royal College of Psychiatrists. CRISS provides rapid assessment and intensive support for adults with acute mental health issues, emphasising recovery-focused holistic care.

Main duties of the job

Are you committed to providing high quality patient care? We need you to help us achieve our goals; to live our lives free from stigma and discrimination; and to improve the lives of people with a learning disability and mental ill health.

The Trust strategy is built upon three priorities:

  1. Delivering great care that is high quality and improves lives
  2. Providing a rewarding and supportive place to work
  3. Using resources to deliver effective and sustainable services

This is a 10 PA post plus a 1% category B availability for out of hours on-call duties.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

Leeds Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to appoint a full time (10 PAs) Consultant in General Adult Psychiatry (Crisis Resolution and Intensive Support Service). The work of the CRISS is considered within LYPFT to be integral to the smooth transfer to and from different parts of the acute pathway.

The post holder will be one of four Consultants providing acute care to patients under the Crisis Resolution Intensive Support Service (CRISS). Although a city-wide service, the post holder will work primarily from the West area of the city, with a focus on facilitating early discharge from acute wards and overseeing the progression of patients through the home-based treatment pathway as an alternative to hospital admission via intensive support. The Consultant will also play a key role in supporting and overseeing crisis and extended assessments in the community, working collaboratively with the multidisciplinary team (MDT) to formulate recovery-focused care plans.

About the Trust
Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is a leader in mental health services, serving a population of over 725,000 within Leeds. We are committed to promoting mental health and wellbeing and delivering high-quality, safe, and recovery-oriented care.
