The Oldham general adult psychiatry service (generally for people aged 16 to 64) has been run since 2008 according to a model whereby our team of consultants are deployed as follows: three consultants work exclusively in the community and outpatient areas, one consultant works with the Early Intervention Service, two consultants cover the inpatient area and one works with our Home Treatment and A&E Liaison Team. Within this arrangement, the consultant appointed to this post will work with other sector consultants (East, West, South and Central sector community outpatients).
Main duties of the job
The Consultant will cover the west sector within the Oldham area. This will include the postcodes OL1, OL2, OL9.
This is an exciting time to join the Trust and there are many opportunities to contribute to the organisations’ innovation and for personal development.

Oldham has a very strong teaching commitment and candidates will be expected to contribute to the teaching of medical and nursing staff. There are close links to ongoing research projects such as Bright Mind, FreshSTART, Gamechange to name a few.
Patients will be seen in hospital and community clinics, at their own homes or in other clinical settings according to clinical need.
