General Adult Consultant Psychiatrist- ECU Audrey House + RRP up to 20%

**This post is being advertised pending Royal College approval**

This post attracts a 20% RRP, based on the bottom of the National Consultant (2003) pay scale. This is subject to review and will be paid as a golden hello payment over 2 years. Relocation payment up to £8000 may be available. 

This is a great opportunity for a 0.8 WTE (8PA) Consultant for a new 8 bedded female Enhance Care Unit (ECU), based in Derby. This is an exciting time to work for Derbyshire Healthcare. We are currently undertaking a programme to create purpose-built facilities to improve the safety, privacy and dignity for our adult acute mental health patients, by eradicating dormitory accommodation. As part of the programme, we are creating a new state of the art Enhanced Care Unit on our Kingsway Hospital, Derby site.

This will be an 8 bedded unit to support female patients who require a higher intensity of service and higher security than is available on an acute mental health ward, but do not meet the criteria for access to PICU services. The unit will improve the acute service delivery pathway by maintaining a maximum length of stay of under 8 week and achieving an average length of stay between 39 and 48 days. The unit is due to open in approximately November 2024.

You will work alongside others to establish and develop this new service for Derbyshire and collaborate with an innovative and forward-thinking programme team and senior leaders to design the operational structure, staffing model and clinical pathways.

Main duties of the job

The successful applicant will take a key role in the Department, providing clinical leadership to their own team and those within The Working Age Adult Acute Directorate, with which they will be working and supporting current and future service developments. 

Working in accordance with our people first approach you will lead by example, acting as a role model within a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) to ensure the highest level of clinical standards. You will ensure, along with the Ward Manager, that the team provides safe, effective therapeutic care within a specialist newly purpose-built ward environment.

The unit will support patients with mental health conditions who need intensive treatment and support as an inpatient, provided within a safe and stable environment for their recovery. You will lead the team and support the wider MDT to create an environment where we are able to acknowledge our service users' cultures, life experiences, protected characteristics and their strengths to help promote their recovery.

The culture and ethos is aimed at ensuring that co-production of care with our service users is an essential and key part of their recovery journey. The MDT will involve both the service users, their carers, alongside clinicians and practitioners as well as external agencies to ensure that individual recovery care plans are individual, co-produced, therapeutic and effective.

Benefits include:

Commitment to flexible working where this is possible 33 days annual leave/year plus bank holidays, increasing to 35 days after 7 years service in the grade.  Yearly appraisal and commitment to ongoing training Generous NHS pension scheme Good maternity, paternity and adoption benefits Health service discounts and online benefits Incremental pay progression Free confidential employee assistance programme 24/7 Access to our LGBTI+ network, BAME Network and Christian Network Health and wellbeing opportunities Structured learning and development opportunities

Want to make a real difference and have a truly rewarding career? Join 'Team Derbyshire Healthcare' and become part of a talented, compassionate and enthusiastic workforce committed to a vision of ‘making a positive difference in people's lives’.
