Description

We seek an enthusiastic and committed individual to work within Perth and Kinross Health and Social Care Partnership's psychiatry of old age service.

The organisation values the knowledge, experience and leadership skills of consultant old age psychiatrists.

Perth and Kinross is an area of central Scotland renowned for its natural beauty.

It is an area of approximately 2000 square miles with Perth as the main centre and several market towns such as Kinross, Auchterarder, Crieff, Aberfeldy, Pitlochry and Blairgowrie all 20-30 miles away.

Perth and Kinross has one of the largest populations of elderly people in Scotland and there is a mixture of all levels of socio-economic class and deprivation.

Perth and Kinross is an unparalleled destination for a work life balance.

With hills, serene lochs and crystal clear rivers within easy reach of the higher mountain ranges and ski areas of Glencoe and the Cairngorms it is an outdoor enthusiast's heaven.

Welcoming outdoor companies, guides, walking, mountaineering and canoeing groups abound to help you explore. It is also an amazing destination for fishing and golf.


For the times when culture is wanted, castles, historic sites, museums, art galleries, theatres, music festivals, farmers markets and Michelin starred restaurants exist within the county.

Perth is also within easy reach of both Glasgow and Edinburgh both about an hour away, with good rail links.


You will find a community welcoming to newcomers, unparalleled opportunities for families with good schools, clubs and activities, and an amazing welcome for your four legged friends with many dog-friendly facilities.


Perthshire regularly ranks as a top holiday destination and Perth has ranked 11th happiest place to live in the UK 2021 (Rightmove's Happy at Home Index).

This 10 session post is based at Murray Royal Hospital and includes:

  • Garry Ward (2.5 DCCs), a 12-bedded dementia assessment ward at Murray Royal Hospital.


Applicants must be on the specialist register for psychiatry or be within 6 months of the anticipated award of a CCT/CESR (CP) or already in possession of CESR in psychiatry at the time of interview for the post.

Interviews will take place on the 6th July 2023.
