The Trust is seeking a Locum consultant psychiatrist to take up a job share opportunity in rehabilitation psychiatry in Bristol.   This post is covering a 12 month maternity leave, 5 PAs a week.

As the post holder you will provide consultant  input to Alder unit at Callington Road Hospital and the Bristol Community Rehabilitation Service.    You will work with the 0.6 wte consultant  to provide this input to the two services jointly, as a job share covering the whole working week.

The post is supported by a 0.6 WTE SAS doctor.

The Community Rehabilitation Service provides recovery-focussed support (six months to two years) for people with complex mental health needs whose needs cannot be adequately met within recovery teams or other community mental health services. 

The Inpatient Rehabilitation Service is provided at Alder Unit and is a 10-bedded mixed sex inpatient ward, managed directly by AWP.   Alder provides the part of the rehabilitation pathway for service users with higher recovery needs, many of whom start that pathway while they are still detained under the Mental Health Act.
