Job description is awaiting approval from Royal College

Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to make a fixed term whole-time appointment to this established post with Oldham Mental Health Services. This post will cover the West sector within the Oldham area.

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 borough has a new state of the art TMS suite. We are the only NHS provider for this service in the Northwest.

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.

Outpatient clinics are held at the Cherrywood Clinic on the Royal Oldham Hospital site and at the Werneth Primary Care Centre. Werneth Primary Care Centre is 1.5 miles from the hospital.

The consultant in this post will work with the East, South and Central Sector CMHTs and also with the Care Management and Review Team, which is a sub-team working across both CMHTs and which supports people with more stable but long term mental illnesses. The CMHT and the Care Management and Review Team are located at Maple house, which is near the town centre and 1.9 miles from the hospital.
