THE WARD

Hawkins: We are looking for a consultant forensic psychiatrist to develop a new service on Hawkins Ward. This service will be a new 15 bed male medium secure ward for the assessment and treatment of working age males with mental disorders including mental illness and personality disorder. There will be a full MDT including psychologist, assistant psychologist, occupational therapist, technical instructor, social work input, and a junior doctor. Hawkins Ward will join our pre-existing male medium secure wards to expand capacity, and will work closely with the other wards.

You will lead a multi-disciplinary team and oversee the management of patients with often complex needs. You will be able to promote innovation and improvement of services, with scope to develop your specialist interests and grow your remit and responsibilities. We will actively encourage you to be a leader nationally in mental health and influence the future direction of services.
We are looking for an individual who wants a role where they have the autonomy to make decisions that will help improve patient care and outcomes. Someone who wants to join an organisation and be a leader of a team who also shares this passion.
