Senior Medical Director and Consultant Psychiatrist Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced and ambitious full-time Senior Medical Director and Consultant Psychiatrist to join our team at Cygnet Hospital Kewstoke. As a key member of our multidisciplinary team, you will provide senior medical cover on our 12-bed male PICU service, which deals with emergency and crisis admissions.

The post holder will also be the Medical Director at Cygnet Hospital Kewstoke, a 71-bed mixed service with complex mental health needs. You will be responsible for overseeing and maintaining the care of all ward inpatients, as required, and will also have responsibility for auditing the medical services rendered at the ward, ensuring their good quality in accordance with GMC standards of good medical practice and other relevant professional guidelines.

In this role, your expertise will be the driving force for life-changing treatment, fully supported by a Specialty Doctor and a first-class multidisciplinary team, including qualified nurses, psychologists, and occupational therapists.

Main Responsibilities

Cygnet Hospital Kewstoke has a "Good" overall CQC rating and provides emergency admissions services for men and women, as well as a pathway for women to rehabilitation, including a specialist service for personality disorder for up to 71 patients.

Nash Ward is our male PICU service, which deals with emergency and crisis admissions. Our aim is a short, rapid intervention to help people regain a sense of control and order in their lives, so they can move to a less restrictive care setting and return home.

Service users usually come to us in crisis, may be non-compliant with their medication, or this could be their first presentation with mental health symptoms. All service users are detained under the Mental Health Act.

The post holder will be the Responsible Clinician and have overall medical responsibility for patient treatment, while liaising closely with the Multi-Disciplinary Team (Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Registered Mental Health Nurses, Social Workers, etc.). The post holder will be expected to act as a positive role model, maintaining and demonstrating a positive attitude towards patients, their families, visitors, and other staff.

Key Responsibilities

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Working as part of a multidisciplinary team (MDT)
  • Taking overall responsibility for patient treatment plans in conjunction with the MDT
  • Assessing referrals and undertaking mental state examinations of service users
  • Undertaking appropriate investigations, diagnosis, and treatment
  • Participating in ward rounds and clinical audits
  • Leading the implementation of risk assessment, risk management, and embedding clinical governance
  • Supervising reports for Mental Health Act tribunals and managers hearings and attending hearings
  • Participating in the 1 in 8 telephone on-call rota
