Consultant Psychiatrist - City and North East Adult Mental Health Team

The City and North East AMHT is based at Warneford Hospital and is organised into three sub-teams: Oak, Willow and Aspen. This post is based within Oak Team, which serves adults aged 18 to 65 across a primarily urban catchment area, with some rural communities, and a population of approximately 78,000. The team receives around 450 referrals per year, with referral patterns evolving following the development of the PCMHT. Oak Team holds a whole-team caseload of approximately 380 patients requiring longer-term treatment and coordinated multidisciplinary care. Oak Team works with adults presenting with significant clinical complexity, including severe and enduring mental illness, complex risk presentations and needs requiring coordinated multidisciplinary input. The Consultant Psychiatrist will provide direct assessment and treatment, while also offering senior clinical oversight of the wider caseload through MDT discussion, care planning and complex case review. The post offers a varied clinical role, including typically one to two new assessments per week, follow-up clinics and complex reviews within a secondary care CMHT model. We offer rewarding career development with protected SPA time as part of your job plan, encouraging you to take leadership courses to enhance your skills. We also offer a relocation allowance of up to £8,000 for external applicants (subject to eligibility criteria).
