Applications are invited for this new and innovative post in General Adult Psychiatry. This is an exciting opportunity for enthusiastic, committed, talented and experienced International Psychiatrists or current Specialty Grade doctors to gain experience towards achieving specialist Consultant registration via the CESR (Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration) route in General Adult Psychiatry. Our 3 year programme is specially designed to provide International Psychiatrists/local doctors with all the necessary support including visa sponsorship, relocation support and bespoke mentoring and experience to suit individual portfolio needs to achieve CESR in General Adult Psychiatry.

The successful candidates will be supported to work towards qualifying as a trained Consultant via the CESR route.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay.  This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff.  This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours.  However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
