*Golden Hello payment Payable*

This post is eligible for a 5% payment of basic salary payable over 2 years

We are seeking to recruit a substantive Consultant Psychiatrist to work as part of the Specialist Perinatal Community Health Team (SPCMHT) based at Leyland House, Leyland. This post is full time (10 PAs).

The successful applicant would be expected to contribute to the Consultant On Call rota, for which additional remuneration would be paid.

Main duties of the job

Consultant Psychiatrists are expected to deliver both obstetric liaison, psychiatric outpatient clinics and Home visits. The majority of each cluster's work will be a combination of antenatal care and care of postnatal mothers. The antenatal care will take place in the antenatal clinic settings in maternity, at women's homes, or other locations in the community as is convenient for the mother.

Consultations can also be undertaken via telemedicine, the trust being an early adopter of Attend Anywhere, whose use has increased since the pandemic.

Postnatal care from the Specialist Perinatal CMHT could take place in a number of settings including home visits, CMHT bases, community assets, essentially as close to home as is required as well as by telemedicine.

The SPCMHT's are multidisciplinary teams within the specialist network.

Applicants should hold full GMC registration and be included on the Specialist register of the GMC or they should be eligible for entry to the Specialist Register within 6 months of the interview date.

It is a requirement that applicants are Section 12 Approved at the time of commencing employment and have or are eligible to have Approved Clinician Status. Remuneration will be as set out in the terms of the New Consultant Contract according to previous experience.
