About this role

A vacancy has arisen for a Consultant Psychiatrist in a secure hospital setting. The role will initially cover a low secure service, with future opportunities to work across both male and female medium secure services on the same site.

This is a part-time position working 26.25 hours per week.

What you’ll be doing
The postholder will report to the Medical Director and will join a team of experienced full-time and part-time forensic consultants, supported by a full-time resident doctor who provides out-of-hours cover. Each ward has a full multidisciplinary team (MDT), including psychology, occupational therapy, and social work. The hospital also has a well-established clinical governance structure and quality improvement programme.

The successful candidate will contribute to clinical governance at both ward and hospital levels. The on-call rota is 1 in 5 (non-resident) and covers several associated secure units. While the resident doctor manages most medical concerns, occasional attendance may be required. Additional units covered include a small bespoke therapeutic service and a low secure unit.

Informal discussions and visits to meet the MDT and management team are welcomed.

Further details can be found in the job description.

What you’ll bring to the role
The ideal candidate will be a fully registered and licensed medical practitioner, a Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and on (or eligible for) the Specialist Register, including those within six months of completing their CCT at the time of interview. Approval under Section 12(2) of the Mental Health Act 1983 is required or preferred. Experience in forensic psychiatry is desirable.

What we will give you in return
You will be supported to succeed and develop through regular career conversations, full training, and multiple pathways into leadership or advanced clinical roles.
