Consultant Psychiatrist for older people

Providing responsible clinician input to the inpatient dementia wards at Hammerton Court, a purpose built dementia unit on the Julian Hospital site, Norwich

We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative consultant to join our established older people’s inpatient dementia services at the Julian Hospital in Norwich. You’ll be working alongside an established MDT, providing responsible clinician input to our inpatient wards and intensive community support team at our ‘Centre of Excellence’ base.

You’ll have the opportunity to make an interesting and stimulating job plan to support with the development of the services we offer to the older people of Norfolk.

There are also brilliant opportunities for career progression here; become a trainer, a medical leader and get involved in developing the health services for our whole population - in a way that may be more challenging in an urban area. There is a real sense of togetherness and some fabulous communities that we can work with and support.

NSFT have a forward-thinking approach to MDTs, so you can expect to be working alongside Nurse Consultants, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, newly developed non-medical RC senior clinicians and more.

Main duties of the job

There is a well-established structure at The Julian hospital, and good colleague support. There is a strong older person’s psychiatrist group in the trust as well as regular meetings with the senior medics in the care group with a thriving MSC locally.

Our service is made up of the following areas:

Sandringham Ward – 15 bed older people’s admission ward for functional patients

Blickling Ward – 19 bed older people’s admission ward for functional patients

Beach Ward – 13 bed male dementia assessment inpatient ward

Reed Ward – 13 bed female dementia assessment inpatient ward

Rose Ward – 13 bed continuing care ward for those suffering from dementia or other organic illness

Working for our organisation

Here at NSFT we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing experiences and learning from each other. In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we are committed to providing an environment in which you can thrive.

Why work for us? We have ambitious aspirations, are pushing ahead with exciting transformation work and we need dedicated individuals to support us on our journey. We have strong, established nursing networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.

We can provide:

  • Up to £12k relocation expenses
  • Access to £800 per annum professional development budget
  • Dedicated SPA time of up to 25% of working hours
  • Paid study leave (on application and approval) in addition to CPD
  • Potential of extra PA for DCC with requisite pay per PA
  • Ability to apply for Clinical Excellence Awards
  • Inclusion on the Consultant on-call rota for the higher level with 3%, 5% or 8% requisite pay depending on frequency
  • NHS benefits package including contributory pension, redundancy. Including paid annual leave, sick leave and maternity leave.

DISCLOSURE AND BARRING SERVICE CHECK (formerly CRB)
FOR POSTS WITH DIRECT SERVICE USER CONTACT - Please be advised that due to recent changes in the DBS Service, organisations no longer receive copies of DBS Disclosures – these are sent directly to candidates only. Therefore, it will be your responsibility, if successful, to ensure that this is taken to the appointing officer as soon as you receive it.

Alternatively, if you have subscribed to the update service, we will be able to check your status once we have your authority to do so.

The Trust has now introduced a DBS Update Service which is a contractual requirement. You need to subscribe when you have applied for your DBS clearance and there is a time limit to subscribe of 19 days after receipt of your DBS disclosure. Please ensure that this is completed within the set time scale.

This update service is an annual subscription at a cost of £13 to you. This will enable the Trust to have instant online access to your DBS record, with your consent, and so will remove the need for you to have to apply for this repeat check again.
