Job overview
**We offer a relocation package of up to £8,000**
The relocation package is for anyone who would need to relocate in order to take up employment with Cheshire and Wirral Partnership. Terms and conditions apply.
Cheshire and Wirral Partnership Trust are looking for an enthusiastic consultant psychiatrist to join our team in Soss Moss Hospital.
The post holder’s primary base is at Saddlebridge Recovery Centre, Chelford Road, Nether Alderley, Cheshire SK10 4UJ where the low secure rehabilitation unit is based. The post holder has a personal office with computer and medical secretary based at this site.
This post sits within the clinical service unit for secure and rehabilitation services which includes 2 inpatient units and a forensic support (outreach) team. This is a replacement post due to the post-holder moving elsewhere within the organisation.
Main duties of the job
The post holder is expected to provide clinical leadership for the 15 bed adult mental health low secure (Saddlbridge) rehabilitation unit and the 7 step down rehabilitation beds within Maple. The post holder will provide clinical leadership for discussions of referrals to these beds via the single point of access gatekeeping / referral meeting.
In essence, the post holder will mostly provide medical leadership for up to 22 beds along with 1 full time equivalent of a Core / Speciality Trainee (from Northwest Deanery) and FT Staff Grade doctor.
They will work as part of the multi-disciplinary team providing assessment and treatment to the cases referred and in developing close working relationships with CMHTs, CCG’s and other relevant agencies. They will have continuing responsibility for the patients in their charge and will be responsible for holding ward rounds and multi-disciplinary case conferences and developing close links with external agencies to ensure throughput of patients and discharge to appropriate accommodation. Once discharged from the service, patients will continue to receive care from their local CMHT or in other parts of the Trust’s rehabilitation services based on their needs. The post holder will be expected to maintain their Section 12(2) and Approved Clinician Status and update the trust accordingly.
