Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and enthusiastic Consultant Psychiatrist to join the Early Intervention for Psychosis Services within Ealing. The Ealing EIP team is a multi-disciplinary team which has a cohesive and exciting approach to working with individuals experiencing a first episode of psychosis.

The appointee will play an integral role in further developing the service, teaching and training new team members and providing clinical and managerial leadership to the team. This role has become vacant due to the current post holder moving.

You will work in partnership with the Team Manager to provide leadership and development to the EIP Team. This will include developing strategy, quality improvement, audit, and written policies and guidelines for the future delivery of EIP services through working collaboratively with others in WLNT, the PCNs and other stakeholders. All clinical team members will be expected to complete domiciliary visits as required.

You will have a key role in a liaison/consultation model to provide early, easy access advice to GPs and the Primary Care Networks to support care of patients in the locality. GPs in the borough will be able to contact you via telephone or email for advice during working hours. You will also provide clinical leadership to the team in clinical multi-disciplinary team meetings and referrals meetings as well as being available for case discussions, advice and supervision within and outside team meetings. You will also have a role in the management of a smaller number of more complex cases, to offer senior assessments and more direct input in particular in risk and/or medication management and diagnostic assessments. This will also include Mental Health Act Assessments, CTO reviews and supporting the duty function of the team with urgent concerns and assessments. You will have senior medical responsibility for the care carried out by the EIP team.

You will be expected to establish, develop and maintain positive relationships with colleagues in the Primary Care Network as well as in secondary care mental health teams, the Local Authority and 3rd sector. You will also facilitate smooth transitions into and out of the service through relationships with other relevant services.
