Job summary

Specialty Doctor - Early Intervention Psychiatry, South Cumbria (10PA)

We are looking to recruit a Specialty Doctor in Early Intervention Psychiatry. This is a full time post working alongside our excellent teams in South Cumbria and is fixed term for a period of 12 months. The post is based in Kendal.

Main duties of the job

The service provides comprehensive assessment and management for people aged between 14 and 64 with a first presentation of psychotic symptoms (FEP) and at-risk mental state (ARMS).

The referrals to EIS teams for assessment are made directly by the GPs, or by the Single Point of access, Assessment and Treatment Teams, Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Teams and Tier 4 in-patient services. The referrals are discussed in the allocation meetings and then initial assessments for suitability of EIS, in the majority of cases, are done by case managers. Consultants are involved in initial assessment of complex cases or when a treatment has to be initiated. The consultants in the team do not provide care coordination for the service users; this is provided by other members of the multidisciplinary team.

There are no On Call requirements for this post. However, the postholder may be able to join the Middle Grade On Call rota, for which additional remuneration would be payable.

About us

To be eligible to apply for this post, you must possess at least 3 year's experience in psychiatry and be fully registered with the GMC with a licence to practice. Ideally, you will be Section 12 Approved, or eligible for approval at the time of commencing employment.
