Job description
Job responsibilities

I worked as a speciality doctor with Aspire for about 18 months and would highly recommend it. It was a great job, working with a very skilled and dedicated team. Theres a really positive ethos in the team, and they do a brilliant job in providing truly holistic support for people with psychosis. I found the work to be varied and rewarding and the workload manageable. I was able to use my SPA time to get involved in other things I was interested in, such as teaching through the University of Leeds and quality improvement projects. I took up the post straight after my core psychiatry training and was very well supported, with regular supervision from one of the consultants. I left the role in order to go into higher training, but would have happily stayed otherwise and would still be keen to go back in the future Dr Lauren Unsworth ST general adult psychiatry

It is a post that allows for increasing clinical autonomy in a service that offers exciting opportunities for SAS doctor involvement in both research and teaching. The SAS doctor plays a vital role in the service and there is plenty of scope to utilise and learn new psychological therapy skills. It is a rather unique SAS post but one that offers a great deal of career development opportunities. Dr Monique Schelhase, Associate Specialist, acting consultant and clinical lead, YEDS

I have worked as a Specialty doctor in LYPFT since 2011, mainly in OPS community teams. I have always found LYPFT to be supportive of SAS doctors. My supervisors have provided support when necessary, but encouraged autonomy when able. There have been opportunities for clinical leadership within the trust for SAS doctors, myself included, and I have always been encouraged to take opportunities in leadership and development by my consultant colleagues. The SAS group in LYPFT are well represented on trust committees and are supportive of each other. Within OPS community services, you are included as a senior member of the medical team, consultants are approachable and supportive, workload is manageable and variable.
