Consultant Psychiatrist Opportunity
The Trust is seeking a consultant psychiatrist to join Walton CMHT based at Norris Green Hub, Falklands Approach, L11. The vacancy has arisen as a result of the previous substantive post holder retiring.

About the Role
Norris Green Hub serves a catchment area of around 120,000, covering the Mid to North areas of Liverpool for adults of working age. The current post encompasses the Walton catchment areas.

The post holder will carry no responsibility for inpatients.
