Fife is a truly beautiful part of Scotland, steeped in history and with a great patchwork mix of country living and urban convenience. Spanning from the newly bestowed City of Dunfermline to St Andrews and the East Neuk, Fife has lots to offer. With great road and rail links, and by car just 45 minutes from Edinburgh, whilst serving as gateway to the Highlands, we are well placed for a huge range of lifestyles.

We can offer you an attractive package:
• Flexible working including part time / job share / compressed week where possible
• Relocation package and/or support with initial accommodation fees
• Support with research or audit projects through our strong links with local Universities 
• Very strong peer group support within the consultant body
• Future planned investments; consultant involvement in service development encouraged
• Opportunities for involvement in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching/training - links with the universities of Edinburgh, Dundee and St Andrews.
• Opportunity to develop specialist interests
• Inpatient and community roles currently locality based

Our services have undergone significant redesign with a strong Fife Health & Social Care Partnership MDT leadership team.
There is a large multidisciplinary emphasis and focus upon partnership working, with commitments to clear clinical leadership by the consultant psychiatrist. Pathways for personality disorder/complex trauma, neurodevelopmental disorders, and eating disorders are in development / being advanced and opportunities for interested clinicians to have active involvement are here for you right now.

Currently services operate within a sectorised model covering both community and inpatient settings however this is subject to change and improvement modelling for the future.
