Specialist grade Psychiatrist in General Adult Psychiatry

This is an exciting, newly created post within the Crawley Assessment and Treatment service. We are looking for a Specialist Grade (Psychiatry) to join the medical team. The post holder will be expected to provide senior medical input to the team. The post holder will assess patients, risk assess and formulate treatment plans. You will be available to the MDT for consultation and with the consultants will be the senior medical resource for the team.

You will also be expected to assist consultants in supervision and teaching of more junior medical colleagues. Our medics enjoy excellent access to weekly CPD sessions and are well supported through our supervisory structure, which incorporates regular job planning, review and evaluation to ensure we get the workload balance right.
