Job summary
Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT) is rated as an outstandingly well-led Trust by the CQC and is committed to innovation and transformation. To bolster our efforts and continue to provide high quality, patient focussed services, we are seeking a CESR Fellow to join the Learning Disabilities team, as part of our Specialist Services division. We are looking for a doctor who is passionate and committed to the development of Learning Disabilities and who is willing to develop their knowledge and experience through the GMC approved sponsored scheme.
The role is full-time at 10PAs per week, with an additional PA as part of recruitment and retention. The role will also be a fixed-term 24-month contract.
Main duties of the job
The appointee will become a valuable member of the Medical workforce and provide support to the Consultants in managing care of patients.
The primary responsibility of the post holder is to assist in managing the care of patients and be flexible in supporting service redesign. Opportunities will be available in other sub-specialties in psychiatry, that fit both the candidate and Trust. The CESR Fellow will be expected to provide support alongside a multidisciplinary team, manage referrals, undertake Mental Health Act duties, and provide senior consultations to the team. The appointee will also be expected to take part in the on-call rota during the second year on the post for emergency care experience.
The appointee will already have ample experience of working in Learning Disabilities, will be comfortable with taking responsibility for clinical decisions and will have excellent clinical and team communication skills. The appointee will be expected to augment this vital clinical role and associated teaching and supervision of juniors and medical students with involvement in audit, research and/or management, provided none of these latter additional activities interfere with their primary role.
