It is an exciting time to join the Trust and there are many opportunities to contribute to the organisation's development and to look at service redesign models. Bury has a very strong teaching commitment and candidates will be expected to contribute to the teaching of medical and nursing staff. There are close links to ongoing research projects. The Consultants contribute to local service user & carer groups.

The Consultant will provide high-quality mental health care for adults with severe and enduring mental health problems within the community, working closely with other teams and Consultants to ensure coherent and high-quality care for adults in the Bury area.

Each Community Consultant is allocated a Junior Doctor (NW Deanery training schemes) to work with them with support from an advanced practitioner and sessional input from a speciality doctor. The EIT is covered by a part time consultant.
