Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated Consultant Old Age Psychiatrist to work within the community in West Northumberland, a stunning rural geographical area of outstanding beauty, yet within close proximity to the vibrant and cultural city of Newcastle upon Tyne with its excellent transport links. The post is a community role, in both community treatment team and memory clinic settings, and involves seeing patients in outpatient clinics, care homes and domiciliary visits, covering the more central West Northumberland area including the towns of Hexham, Prudhoe and Ponteland. You will work alongside another full time consultant psychiatrist, and lead a well established multidisciplinary team. There are also close working relationships with local GP surgeries in the area. This is an 8PA post, which can be worked over 4 days or more flexibly. There may be the opportunity for the successful candidate to take on additional PAs within CNTW trust to make the post up to a full time equivalent post, depending on availability of sessions and experience of the successful applicant.
