Job summary

Are you passionate about delivering pioneering research and patient-centred care in the field of memory disorders? Join the Memory Assessment and Research Centre (MARC) -- an internationally recognised, award-winning centre with over 35 years of excellence in dementia research and treatment innovation.

Based at Moorgreen Hospital, this Specialty Doctor post offers a rare opportunity to be at the forefront of clinical trials that shape the future of Alzheimer's and related conditions. Working alongside a dedicated multidisciplinary team and under the supervision of senior clinicians, you will contribute to advanced research protocols while delivering safe, high-quality care to patients.

The role is ideal for a clinician seeking to deepen their expertise in psychiatry and research, with access to excellent continuing professional development, peer support, and career progression.

Your responsibilities include obtaining informed consent, conducting physical and mental health evaluations, performing trial-related investigations, and documenting findings in accordance with Good Clinical Practice.

You will attend investigator meetings, support infusion clinics at Lymington Hospital, and may carry out community visits. You will work closely with Consultant Psychiatrists, research staff, and visiting clinicians, demonstrating clinical autonomy with appropriate supervision.

We seek a motivated and flexible professional with excellent communication skills, a thorough approach, and a genuine enthusiasm for dementia research. Prior experience in psychiatry and interest in memory disorders are essential.

The role includes opportunities to contribute to teaching, clinical governance, and service development, with protected time for professional activities and CPD.
