Specialist Grade Doctor in Adult Psychiatry
We are seeking an experienced and compassionate Specialist Grade Doctor in Adult Psychiatry to join our mental health services in Rotherham. This is an excellent opportunity for a senior clinician to provide high-quality assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for adults with complex mental health needs, working as a key member of a supportive team. The provision in Rotherham offers a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach.
Psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, peer support colleagues, and partner agencies work together to provide holistic care that considers mental health, physical health, social circumstances, and recovery goals. The interface with primary care also supports early identification and onward referral, ensuring that people are guided towards the most appropriate pathway as their needs change.
The successful applicant will have the opportunity to contribute to service development, quality improvement, recovery-focused practice, and closer working across community and acute pathways. The breadth of local provision, combined with a clear commitment to compassionate, person-centred care, supports both high-quality patient outcomes and meaningful professional development.
Information Event
To find out more about this exciting opportunity, we are holding a recruitment information session on Wednesday 5th August on MS Teams. Please contact Laura Charlesworth (l.charlesworth@nhs.net) to book a place and receive further information.
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.

Requirements
