Providing quality, inspiring innovation and delivering value is what we set out to achieve at Priory Healthcare. Enabling our patients with mental health illness to receive a truly integrated and holistic approach to their treatment, regardless of complexity or severity, thanks to the knowledge and expertise of our multidisciplinary clinical teams.

We are looking to recruit a motivated, flexible and reliable Consultant Rehabilitation Psychiatrist to join our team.

Responsibilities include:

1. Leading weekly ward rounds
2. Running CPAs
3. Assessing new referrals
4. Attending managers' hearings and tribunals
5. Providing supervision to the Specialty Doctor
6. Medical leadership to the Hospital
7. On-call duties around 1:6

The successful candidate will be the primarily responsible clinician caring for a 12 bed male Recovery & Rehab ward, but there will be some cross covering with other consultants looking after an 18 bed acute mixed ward. They will lead a Multi Disciplinary Team and work in close liaison with the referring agencies. The role includes teaching and the supervision of medical and clinical staff. The Consultant will be supported by a Specialty Doctor and receive supervision from the Medical Director who is based at the same Priory Hospital. Rehab and Recovery provision within Priory Healthcare is supported by a Clinical Network which provides support and guidance to the team and facilitates meetings; therefore, the successful candidate will be expected to attend some of the meetings off site.

Applicants must be on the GMC Specialist Register or be within three months of registration and also hold the approved clinician status.

Priory Healthcare provides a programme of educational activities for Doctors, PDP groups are supported, and other CPD activities are actively encouraged. All medical staff are members of the Hospital Medical Advisory Committee.
