Job description

Job responsibilities

Medical school and foundation training offer limited exposure to psychiatry. Yet mental health difficulties are prevalent in all walks of life and all areas of medicine. It is difficult to base a long term career choice on only a few weeks or months of experience. This post is designed to offer the post holder additional experience in psychiatry relevant especially for those considering a career in psychiatry or general practice but valuable whatever branch of medicine you choose to pursue.

The post is designed primarily for trainees who have completed the Foundation Programme and want to gain further specialty experience.

Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for further details about this post.

We may look to close this advert early should a suitable number of applications be received.
