We seek to appoint a highly-motivated Clinician with an enthusiasm for General Adult Psychiatry.

This post is based at New Craigs Hospital, Inverness. The post holder will be welcomed into a friendly and forward thinking team of Consultants, Specialty Doctors and Trainees where peer support is valued and protected.

This post represents an opportunity for a motivated doctor who enjoys teamwork to be part of a modern service for in-patient General Adult Psychiatry. The post holder will work within recently redesigned multi-disciplinary teams, under the supervision of two in-patient Consultants, covering the north Highland area. The post holder will assist, with support from multi-disciplinary teams, in the management of in-patients from North Highland and will take a lead with Consultant supervision, in the patient journey through hospital and back into the community.

The post holder will be expected to have Section 22 status under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 or have sufficient clinical experience to complete this prior to commencement of the post. MRCPsych would be desirable but not essential.

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.
