Consultant Psychiatrist Opportunity
Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is recruiting a Consultant Psychiatrist to cover psychiatric needs across HMP Lowdham Grange and HMP Ranby in Nottinghamshire. This is a full-time job, but we welcome interest from those interested in working part-time, including those who are considering retirement from their current positions to take up a portfolio career that suits their post-retirement needs and interests.
About the Role
If you are keen to provide mental healthcare to arguably one of the most disadvantaged and mentally disordered populations in the country, then this job is for you. You will be working with a multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals, including counsellors and psychologists, and those with expertise in neurodiversity. You would also have the advantage of working in a polyclinic model with on-site fellow healthcare professionals such as GPs, physiotherapy, dentistry, sexual health, opticians, as well as Substance Misuse services.
