1 month ago

Peterborough, Peterborough, United Kingdom Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are seeking a highly skilled Lead Psychiatrist to join our team at Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a dynamic environment, leading a team of clinicians to provide high-quality mental health care to adults in the community.

About the Role

This substantive post offers a generous recruitment premium of £40K in addition to standard relocation expenses, making it an attractive option for professionals looking to relocate to the area. You will be based in Peterborough City Centre, with opportunities to work remotely during the week.

As a Lead Psychiatrist, you will be responsible for providing clinical leadership to the team, contributing to the assessment of patients referred to the service, and supporting multidisciplinary team members in their assessments. You will also be expected to maintain Section 12(2) status and Approved Clinician status, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of relevant legislation.

The ideal candidate will have experience in multi-disciplinary working, teaching, and supervision of doctors in training, as well as proven good working relationships. A CCT in adult psychiatry or equivalent experience and competencies recognised by the GMC is essential. Additionally, knowledge of policy and legislation relating to mental health, ability to take a clinical lead, and willingness to represent the department at Trust-wide meetings are crucial.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide clinical leadership to the team, ensuring high-quality patient care and effective teamwork.
  • Contribute to the assessment of patients referred to the service, using your expertise to diagnose and develop treatment plans.
  • Maintain Section 12(2) status and Approved Clinician status, staying up-to-date with relevant legislation and guidelines.
  • Develop close working relationships with primary care clinicians, supporting them in managing patients with mental health difficulties within the primary care setting.
  • Participate in clinical governance activities, contribute to the day-to-day management of the service, and collaborate with managerial and clinical colleagues to drive service development.

You will have the opportunity to work closely with a small team of senior clinicians, manage the flow of patients from practices between primary and secondary care, and participate in mental health act assessments when possible.

With a strong medical education department and consultants with key formal roles in the North, there are opportunities to develop as an educator at undergraduate and postgraduate level. The Northern Regional Clinical Subdean for Cambridge University medical students is based at Peterborough City Hospital, and the CPFT Northern Undergraduate tutor is located at the Cavell Centre, Peterborough.

Salary and Benefits

The salary for this role is approximately £85,000 per annum, plus a generous recruitment premium of £40K and standard relocation expenses. As a member of the NHS, you will also receive a range of benefits, including pension scheme, annual leave, and access to training and development opportunities.

What We Offer

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a leading healthcare provider in the East of England, delivering high-quality services to patients across the region. As a trust, we offer a supportive and inclusive work environment, with opportunities for career growth and professional development.
