We are delighted to invite applications for a job share role for a Consultant Psychiatrist for our Hammersmith and Fulham Community Rehabilitation Service. This is a well-established and successful team where the current Consultant is remaining half time with the team on a flexible retirement basis. You will be part of a comprehensive multi-disciplinary team with highly skilled clinicians and excellent team relationships, both within the trust and across the range of local stakeholders.

The service aims to help change the trajectories for those who have traditionally been high users of acute psychiatric services and to improve their levels of clinical symptomatology, levels of functioning and social inclusion. Our Community rehabilitation teams have excellent links with housing, LA, social care and range of VCSE organisations, and... offer the opportunity to engage in high intensity work with low caseloads.

These teams are holistic and hold a bio-psycho-social and trauma informed understanding of service user’s rehabilitation needs. The team has a full multidisciplinary membership and promotes a positive approach to recovery and aims to reduce the need for admissions. The multi-disciplinary teams offer support for people in the least restrictive environment with the aim of helping people progress from more intensive inpatient or housing support through to greater independent living. The team will engender a multi-agency approach to recovery with a strong focus on engaging service users with local community and third sector organisations. The team will also support the repatriation of people currently placed out of area for rehabilitation. The teams will provide specialist substance use support to inform overall care planning and develop strong connections with community substance use services.

The post-holder will have experience of working with people with a history of severe and enduring mental health problems and will hold a positive and optimistic understanding of recovery journeys. Ideally you will have a keen interest in change management and service delivery. There are numerous opportunities for training or to attend specialist events.
