Job responsibilities
A lot of transformation has taken place already and continues to take place in Redbridge’s adult mental health services over the past few years. This is a new post to support the team caseload.

The Trust also has a daytime (9am - 5pm) Section 136 rota, with an approximate frequency of once every 3 months.

The successful candidate will work as part of a multidisciplinary team providing care to adults with mental health needs who are registered with a GP Practice located in the northern part of the London Borough of Redbridge (plus a small number of patients who reside in that part of the Borough but whose GP is elsewhere).

The successful candidate will provide senior medical support to the team, and direct input on clinical cases. Together with the other 2wte consultants, a 1wte Specialty Doctor, and 1wte trainee doctor, the postholder will be expected to provide guidance and supervision to the team, work directly with adult people (and their families), and liaise as appropriate with other external adult mental health providers, and acute hospitals.
