Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
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.
This is part of a functionalised model in which patients requiring inpatient care, crisis or home treatment have their care temporarily transferred to the relevant pathway and therefore will have no clinical remit outside of the IMHT.
You will take part in out of hours duties; on call work is remunerated at 3% as well as 0.25 APAs.
Main duties of the job
As the Community Consultant, you will be working as part of a multi-disciplinary team and in partnership with voluntary care sector organisations and acute care settings. You will require a strong background in Clinical leadership.
As part of this role, you will be expected to:
- Ensure, in conjunction with the multidisciplinary team, regular effective review of the care of patients in the clinical pathway – via individual assessments and follow up appointments, risk assessments, safeguarding needs and MDT meetings
- Responsible Clinician for service users in the pathway who are subject to Community Treatment Order (CTO) where applicable.
- Provide evidence-based care.
- Be recovery focused.
- Provide cross-cover (emergency and prospective) for other Consultant Psychiatrist colleagues by mutual agreement
- Communicate with all key partners in an appropriate and timely way including service users, carers and General Practitioners.
- Work within the requirements of service contracts including compliance with nationally agreed quality standards
