The beautiful Island of Jersey are looking for a Locum Consultant Adult Psychiatrist to work
ASAP - 6 months (potentially ongoing)
Accommodation provided **
Return flights covered **
Jersey is a fabulous island, south of the English coast. They have a population of 106,000. Their transport links to all major cities in the U.K. are excellent, and they share the same time zone as the UK.
Their 50 miles of coastline ensure you never have to travel far to find a beach and, when you do, you will find pebbly coves, rocky outcrops and golden, sandy shores and they offer a jaw-dropping amount of activities to enjoy!
**Adult Inpatient only**
Inpatient service - Orchard House consists of 17 adult acute beds (including an extra-care area). It is for people aged between 18 and 65, who suffer from severe mental illness and require inpatient admission. Their aim is to help services users achieve their potential by promoting recovery and maintaining wellbeing. The service users come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and often have challenging and complex needs. The inpatient team is a multidisciplinary team, which includes doctors ( 2 part time consultants (these posts), Staff grade/ Clinical Fellow and F2), a clinical psychologist, nurses, a social worker, occupational therapists, an art therapist, health care assistants and administrative staff. Independent Advocacy is provided by My Voice. The wards work closely with third sector charities such as MIND and Focus on Mental Illness.
At times there will be patients aged under 18yr on the unit, as there is no CAMHS inpatient provision on island. If this happens the Responsible Officer will be the Consultant Child Psychiatrist and there will be special provisions in place to keep them safe and separated from the adult patients.
Jersey has a small population, and this is a unique opportunity to do some things differently from UK models.
Hourly Rate: paid PAYE Via Jersey - you can potentially opt for Jersey's Lower tax rates !
Experience Required:
- Full GMC registration
- Recent experience of work in UK hospital systems (or equivalent, not just shadowing)
- Right to work in the UK
