The Trust is seeking a full-time consultant psychiatrist in medical psychotherapy/general adult psychiatry to join the specialist personality disorders services based at Spring House. This new post has been created to support the planned expansion to the PD Case Management Team to cover the geographical areas of Warrington + Halton in the recently expended Trust.   It is envisaged that the post-holder will join the current 1.8 consultant psychiatrists and work across all 3 services based at Spring House.   The service prides itself in creating a "community" for service users attending Spring Hose, through both the stabilisation and therapy stages of their recovery. The team is welcoming, has good supportive structures in place and currently has a well-motivated team with good staffing levels and high levels of retention. The team is also working innovatively in response to challenges and developments. The service has been recognised locally and nationally as an area of excellent practice (recently making the final of 5 national awards including being the runner up twice in the Health Service Journal Awards 2019 and 2021.).
