These services include children, adult, and older people's mental health, forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care, and liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, research, and development.


To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high calibre candidates who share our vision and values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups.

  • Entry on the GMC Specialist Register
  • MRCPsych (or equivalent)

  • CCT in relevant specialty

Essential skills:



  • First-hand experience of developing services in a constantly changing environment and to budgetary restraints would be an advantage
