Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity to lead an innovative new integrated community mental health service. You will play an integral role in further developing the service, teaching and training new team members and primary care staff and providing clinical and managerial leadership to the team.
The service is continually developing, and the configuration of staff and exact details of the post may change in order to facilitate this. We are advertising for two 6PA vacancies which are due to a combination of the existing post holder transferred to our community rehabilitation service and a historical vacancy caused by the previous consultant leaving the Trust to take up a Chief Medical Officer position. At present there is a plan for movement within the service to fill the other 6PA role in this team.
Main duties of the job
You will have a key role in a liaison/consultation model to provide early, easy access advice to GPs and the Primary Care Networks to support care of patients in the locality. GPs in the borough will be able to contact you via telephone or email for advice during working hours. You will also provide clinical leadership to the team in clinical multi-disciplinary team meetings and referrals meetings as well as being available for case discussions, advice and supervision within and outside team meetings. You will also have a role in the management of more complex cases, to offer senior assessments and more direct input in particular in risk and/or medication management and diagnostic assessments. This will also include Mental Health Act Assessments, CTO reviews and supporting the duty function of the team with urgent concerns and assessments. You will also share senior medical responsibility with job sharing consultant for the care carried out by the MINT team.
