Post And Specialty
This post is for a Community Old Age Consultant Psychiatrist position in the Havering Old Age Community Mental Team based at 26 Gubbins Lane, Harold Wood, RM3 0QA

In the course of your work, you will help shape service development, support staff and champion the Trust values of kindness, respect, and partnership with communities.
1.1 Job Title: Community Old Age Consultant Psychiatrist
This is a full-time post for an Old Age Consultant Psychiatrist in a well-established service with an excellent, stable and well-resourced multidisciplinary team.
This is a full-time substantive post, and we would consider flexible working, job share or fixed term if preferred. It is a post with 10 Programmed Activities (PAs) with 7.5 Direct Clinical Contact activities (DCC) and 2.5 Supporting Professional Activities (SPAs).
Rationale For Post
This is a well-established post that has become vacant due to the previous consultant leaving the organisation. There has also been a restructuring of the medical input to the teams (to align medical input to the local Primary Care Networks). A lot of transformation has taken place already within community mental health services across NELFT and continues to take place within Havering Older Adult Services. This post is currently vacant, and we wish to recruit substantively to this post as soon as possible.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

The postholder will be part of the Senior Psychiatrist on-call rota covering out of hours for Mental Health Services in NELFT. The on call covers Adult and Older Adult services.

The Trust also has a Daytime (9am-5pm) Section 136 rota with an approximate frequency of 1 day every 3 months, with all Section 12 approved doctors expected to take a lead on emergency Mental Health Act assessments in the Section 136 suite on the Goodmayes site.
Main responsibilities
The post holder will be a Consultant Psychiatrist committed to establishing a culture of care and collaborative working in the team. You will be expected to provide clinical leadership and supervision to the team, work directly with adult patients and their families and liaise as appropriate with inpatient, crisis and other community consultant psychiatrists. You will also develop links across the whole mental health pathway and primary care networks in Havering to continually improve services for our communities.
