The closing date is 30 October 2025
We are excited to offer an opportunity to join the Tamworth Integrated Mental Health Team (IMHT) as a Consultant Psychiatrist.

Service users will present with a range of mental health difficulties.
This post is part of a functionalised model in which patients requiring inpatient care, crisis or home treatment have their care temporarily transferred to the relevant pathway and will have clinical responsibility outside of the IMHT.

Main duties of the job
As Consultant Psychiatrist you will ensure, in conjunction with the multidisciplinary team, regular effective review of the care of patients in the clinical pathway - via individual assessments and follow up appointments, MDT meetings and sometimes the Care Programme Approach (CPA) review, particularly where the complexity requires it.
As part of this role, you will be expected to:
- Be the Responsible Clinician for service users in the pathway who are subject to Community Treatment Orders (CTO) where applicable.
- Participate in the training and supervision of doctors in training and medical students where applicable.
- Work within the requirements of service contracts including compliance with nationally agreed quality standards.
