Liaison Psychiatry (East) is one of two teams in South Staffordshire, providing comprehensive mental health input into the general hospitals, across all wards and the Emergency Departments (ED).
Liaison Psychiatry (East) is based at Queens Hospital, Burton-upon-Trent, also covering its community hospitals in Lichfield and Tamworth, part of University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Trust (UHDB). The team has been gradually increasing in size and provision, and now provides an all-age service 8am 10pm, 7 days a week, all year round, with funding for further expansion.
We are looking to recruit a skilled, dynamic and motivated individual, who will have day to day responsibility for the operational leadership of this multidisciplinary team. You will work alongside the collective leadership to ensure that a high quality of service is delivered within this clinical area, and that the team feel well led.
You will offer experienced, visible leadership, form effective working relationships with colleagues and professional leads both internal and external to the team, and act as an excellent role model. The successful candidate will have a clear role in reviewing and maintaining operational standards, performance and management aspects, and continue the drive forward towards a Core24 provision. Experience of Liaison Psychiatry and an understanding of the wider influences on the service would be desirable.
In return, you will have the opportunity to be an important part of developing this service further, shaping the experience of those with mental health needs in the general hospital and leading a team of dedicated clinicians and support staff. The service is a supportive environment which promotes personal and professional development, and the post holder will receive regular support, supervision, and appraisal.
If the sound of this post interests you, and you are a positive, experienced and confident leader, we would welcome your application. For informal discussions or visits to the team, please email or MS Teams
