Main duties of the job

The job plans and working patterns of doctors reflect the functional requirements of the Locality and the National Service Framework for Mental Health and are not determined by catchment area.

• Through job planning and agreement, the SPA sessions allow for the possibility of a special interest, teaching and research, management duties, administration, and continuing professional development.
• These arrangements allow for some flexibility and the opportunity for doctors to change their working patterns and clinical interests as things develop. With regular job plan reviews, it is expected that doctors' roles will be flexible, and the focus of the role changes from time to time, e.g., from predominantly in-patient to primary care.

Main Duties

• The post holder is appointed as a senior professional in order to provide advanced professional expertise and clinical leadership. As such, the post holder is expected at all times to conduct him/herself in such a manner as to be demonstrably helping the Trust to deliver its strategic and business objectives, and to act as an ambassador at the interface with external partners and stakeholders. At no time must the post holder bring the Trust into disrepute.
• Additionally, the post-holder, as is expected from the holder of a senior public position, must at all times comply fully with the Nolan Principles and the Standards of Business Conduct.
