About this job

This post is a 12 months fixed term position.

The postholder would be supported by a growing medical team; in the Barberry adult team there is a consultant psychiatrist covering inpatients and day treatment, and another consultant psychiatrist covering community and outreach.

There is an existing specialty doctor who works primarily in the community.

There is also a core trainee, sometimes a higher trainee, and often other higher trainees on special interest days.

Within the SEDS team there is a consultant psychiatrist and a specialty doctor working in the community.

The Barberry consultant will provide management supervision, and consultants in both teams will be providing clinical supervision to support managing the age ranges.

It is expected that all members of the medical team cross cover each other for leave and absences, so there will be the expectation of covering other arms of the eating disorder services at times.

Whilst the adult part of the post is primarily based in inpatients and day treatment service, there would occasionally be the expectation of the postholder attending the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, or other local acute hospitals, to assess patients who may need admission to the eating disorder inpatient unit or day treatment service.

In the SEDS team there is an expectation that the postholder will travel independently across Birmingham in order to see patients and families in their homes, in their local area hubs or in acute hospitals.

Jobs are provided by the Find a Job Service from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
