Join Us and Receive a 30,000 Golden Hello!
As part of our commitment to attracting outstanding talent, we're offering a 30,000 Golden Hello to successful candidates appointed to this role supporting you as you take the next step in your career.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full-time Consultant Psychiatrist to join the Adult CMHT in Basingstoke. This post is available due to the relocation of a current Consultant and offers the chance to work within a supportive, experienced multidisciplinary team.
You'll join substantive Consultants and Specialists within the North Hampshire and Basingstoke CMHTs, serving a catchment population of approx. 170,000 across six Primary Care Networks (PCNs). The North-Mid Hampshire Division supports a wide range of services with a total budget of around 46 million.
We are currently transforming community mental health care, aligning services with PCNs and integrating Primary Care Additional Roles--creating dedicated mental health teams linking GPs and secondary care.
We are looking for a motivated, compassionate Consultant Psychiatrist to provide clinical leadership and help shape population-based models of care. Informal enquiries welcome we look forward to hearing from you.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will work within the North Hampshire and Basingstoke CMHT, which is divided into two teams, each aligned with three Primary Care Networks (PCNs). Each team is led by a Band 8a Service Manager and a Band 7 Team Leader, supported by a full multidisciplinary team and a well-resourced psychological therapies service.
The Consultant will be primarily aligned with one PCN, attending monthly PCN MDT meetings and working closely with local GP practices. The role includes providing clinical input and guidance to the PCN MDT and supporting the wider CMHT MDT.
The post holder will conduct scheduled and urgent clinical assessments and reviews, flexibly responding to service need and providing cross-cover for Consultant colleagues during leave. The CMHT works closely with co-located services, including Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) and a newly commissioned personality disorder service offering DBT.
There are strong links with local services including GPs, CAMHS, Substance Misuse, OPMH, and Learning Disability teams. Junior medical staff, including GP, core, and higher trainees, as well as medical students from Southampton and St George's, are attached to the team, contributing to a strong teaching culture.
Crisis and urgent assessments are managed by the Crisis and Home Treatment Team (CRHT), ensuring that the CMHT focuses on routine and "soon" referrals
