Job Description
We are pleased to be able to offer this full-time post covering an Older Adult population of approximately 11,600 over 65s covering West of Moray (with a second Older Adult Psychiatrist caring for those in East Moray), with beds in Dr Gray’s Hospital, Elgin and Seafield Hospital, Buckie.
This post is based at Dr Gray’s Hospital, Elgin, a modern District General Hospital with a range of specialties and diagnostic facilities. One of the attractions of working in Moray is a tradition of close working with colleagues from General Practice and the local authority. Since April 2016, this has been formalized as an Integrated Joint Board.
The Royal Burgh of Elgin thrives as a centre of administration, education, tourism, and trade with agricultural, service, and textile industries. Situated in Scotland’s Castle and Whisky country, the area offers a wide range of recreational activities such as golf, fishing, hill walking, surfing, canoeing, cycling, horse riding, and winter sports. This is an opportunity to live and work in a beautiful part of Scotland that offers a great quality of life and has good transport links with the rest of the UK.
Responsibilities
The postholder will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. The postholder will be expected to register with the Continuing Professional Development Programme of the Royal College of Psychiatrists for which all costs will be met by NHS Grampian. There are opportunities for research and close links exist between the Service and the Departments of Mental Health and Psychology of the University of Aberdeen. The postholder will be expected to contribute to audit and other elements of clinical governance. A detailed job plan will be agreed with the successful candidate at the time of appointment to meet service needs, taking account of the experience, skills, and interests of the candidate and how they can best be used within the consultant team. The post holder will be expected to engage in annual appraisal towards revalidation.

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.
