About the Position

This is a permanent, full-time post in the Bridgwater Community Mental Health service based in Glanville House, located in the center of Bridgwater. The post provides senior psychiatric services to community mental health teams for three of the 12 GP surgeries in the Bridgwater and Burnham area. Patients will be under the care of the Bridgwater Adult Community Mental Health team (CMHT).

The position has a 1 in 10 rota operating 5pm to 9am on weekdays, with weekend coverage from 9am on Saturday morning to 9am on Monday morning. There is some flexibility in working hours depending on the successful candidate’s requirements, and applications from candidates who cannot work full-time will be considered.

This post arises due to the relocation of a previous psychiatrist and expansion of the community psychiatry service. Some remote working can be considered. We welcome applications from candidates currently working as a Specialist grade or looking to work at this level, prior to obtaining specialist registration.

Main Duties of the Job

This is a community adult psychiatry position where the post-holder will work alongside four consultant colleagues providing senior medical services to the Bridgwater community mental health teams. There are no specific inpatient responsibilities attached to this post except cross cover for Willow and Ash Wards. In-patients from the Bridgwater area are managed by in-patient consultants on Rydon 2.

The post-holder is expected to work closely with inpatient teams to ensure smooth transitions at admission to and discharge from the ward. Attendance at Section 117 and other CPA Review meetings at Rydon Ward is rarely required and can be done via video. The post-holder will act as Responsible Clinician (RC) for patients subject to a Community Treatment Order and occasionally for patients on extended Section 17 leave from Rydon Ward.

Key responsibilities include delivering direct interventions through outpatient clinics at Glanville House and domiciliary visits as required, undertaking MHA assessments as the Trust Section 12 doctor, attending a local leadership group meeting once a week, and working closely with community teams to provide effective multidisciplinary collaborative care.
