Consultant Psychiatrist: Adult Inpatient, Norwich

Adult Mental Health Service

We want to work with you to create the right job for you.

Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust is in the midst of a transformation and this brings opportunities to influence how things are done.

We have two posts available and welcome applicants with various levels of experience. There is an opportunity to undertake a leadership role as an Associate Clinical Director after appointment for the right candidate.

Main duties of the job

Our inpatient team covers 5 adult mental health wards (including a PICU) at Hellesdon Hospital. We encourage applications from highly motivated, enthusiastic psychiatrists who would welcome the opportunity to work in this beautiful part of the world. The Trust encourages leadership roles for senior clinicians as part of the core job and in additional roles, where available, in medical education, management, research and teaching.

This role will provide clinical care and leadership for Thurne Ward. This role will provide you with the opportunity to play a key strategic role in service design and redevelopment. Not only are we striving to continually improve our model of care but we have been successful in securing the funding to build a new inpatient unit on site. With the support of the architects we are challenging ourselves to think differently about how we deliver services and would very much welcome the input of the new post holders into the design process.
