Live, work, and thrive in one of the UK's most desirable locations. Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is offering an exciting opportunity to join our Community Team in Launceston, North Cornwall as a Consultant Psychiatrist.

Whether you're about to finish training or an experienced consultant seeking a fresh challenge, this is your chance to:

• Join a supportive, forward‑thinking team that values innovation and collaboration
• Take on clinical leadership responsibilities and influence service development
• Pursue your interests in research, teaching, or service improvement with our full support

This post is part of the leadership team within the service and will provide appropriate support and supervision to other team members. The post holder will be part of a clinical team providing specialist psychiatric advice to the multidisciplinary team. There is the potential to support medical trainees and advanced clinical practitioners, who will be supervised by the consultant.

The post holder, together with other senior members of the CAMHS Teams, will be responsible for ensuring effective communication with referring and receiving teams throughout the Trust and primary care. Where appropriate the post holder will join therapy sessions in complex cases. Whilst primarily responsible for delivering a quality clinical service, the Consultant psychiatrist is also expected to be actively involved in the strategic development of the team and broader services, working with the service manager to steer development in line with the organisation’s strategic direction.

The successful candidate will develop a personal development plan for lifelong learning. We also offer new appointees the chance to extend their development, and if you would like to undertake a further qualification, undertake research or involve yourself in our transformation programme.

We are an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital‑based care to improve people’s physical and mental health, and provide specialist support for people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you will help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 5,000 people make up the Trust, including doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people’s homes, in community clinics and bases, and some staff work from one of our 10 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon, so we also work closely with our partners in Devon. During the summer and other holidays, many people visit the area, increasing the numbers of people who use our services.
