Role
We are recruiting for a Specialty Doctor to join our City and North East AMHT based at the Warneford Hospital on a 12 month fixed term contract (or secondment opportunity).
You'll undertake comprehensive psychiatric assessments, deliver evidence-based treatment, and work collaboratively with patients and their families to support recovery. You will manage a varied caseload, providing care for routine, urgent, and emergency referrals, while working closely within a multidisciplinary team under Consultant supervision.
The role offers a diverse clinical experience, including conducting mental state examinations, prescribing in line with NICE guidance, contributing to triage and Mental Health Act assessments, and delivering three clinics per week (new and follow-up patients). You will also liaise with referrers, provide timely clinical documentation, and contribute to service development, clinical governance, audit, and quality improvement initiatives.
This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a supportive team that values teaching, professional development, and innovation in line with national mental health strategies. Section 12 approval (or eligibility) is desirable.
