Consultant Psychiatrist in the Adult Community Mental Health Team - St Peter, United Kingdom - Government of Jersey
Description
Job Details
Wanting a change from the NHS but not wanting to travel too far afield. Come to Jersey in the Channel Islands
We are working through a major redesign of services to try to provide the best mental health care a small island can offer. Come and be part of our success.
We offer a great work/life balance, beautiful beaches, a lower taxation rate and a warmer climate than mainland UK. Come and try it for yourself
Jersey is a prosperous Island with our own health care system that is quite different from the NHS. In recent years we have invested significantly in mental health services.
We have a number of exciting job opportunities on offer, and are happy to discuss different combinations of the roles. We are especially interested in candidates who can expand our range of specialist expertise and are interested in shaping the future of mental health care on the Island. Even if your exact job is not below get in touch and have a discussion about possibilities as we have more expansion planned.
Main duties of the job
This post is to replace a Consultant in the Adult Community Mental Health Service who has gone to work in our neurodevelopmental service.
The CMHT serves people, aged between 18 and 65, who suffer from severe mental illness. Our aim is to help services users achieve their potential by promoting recovery and maintaining wellbeing. Our service users come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and often have challenging and complex needs. The CMHT is a multidisciplinary team, including doctors, a clinical psychologist, nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, support workers and administrative staff. There is also a physical health facilitation service to support annual physical health checks.
About us
Jersey has its own health service that is separate from the NHS. The Islands integrated, taxation-funded health and care system is largely free at the point of delivery and is run by the Health and Community Services Department. Jersey has begun a comprehensive programme to transform health and social care, supported by significant investment in community and hospital services. Funding has been secured to build a new 300 bed General Hospital and a new mental health inpatient unit. All the components of a health and social care system are here to work with, in an environment where there is closer interaction with political processes than in the UK. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of developing a genuinely integrated care system.
Living in Jersey is also financially attractive. We have a flat rate of income tax which compares favourably to the U.K., and we offer a generous public sector pension scheme, which is not subject to U.K. lifetime or annual contribution restrictions. The Jersey Consultant Contract is similar to the U.K. but with a higher level of increments. Subject to satisfactory performance, incremental progression is automatic for between points 1 to 17 on the pay scale. Formal applications are required for points 18 to 20.
Job description
Job responsibilities
Jersey has a small population of 106,000, and we have a unique opportunity to do some things differently from UK models. The medical cover for the adult CMHT is four consultant psychiatrists (including this job) (two part-time), an Associate Specialist and two whole time equivalent staff grades, which is very favourable compared with similar population size in the UK.
By joining our team there is a real opportunity to shape and influence the future provision of services to suit Jersey and provide excellent care for our patients.
There is dedicated administrative support in line with RCPsych standards (0.5 wte medical secretary and team secretarial support). The Consultant has a dedicated individual office at Le Bas Centre. A mobile, PC and laptop are provided, and IT training and support are arranged on arrival with a 1:1 training session and ongoing support available as required. Cover for leave will be with a leave partner Consultant within the CMHT. Mental Health Law in Jersey is very similar to the law in England and Wales, but full training will be given at the start of employment.
The successful applicant will be expected to provide medical expertise in the field of Adult CMHT Psychiatry. The key responsibilities and expectations are:
The above is intended to indicate the primary range and type of duties required. It is noted however that the duties of the post may alter to reflect changing practices and demands within the service.
Start date: We would like the appointee to take up the post within 3 months of appointment but are open to discussion if this is difficult to achieve.
