Additional Information

Psychiatrists are integral for driving change and influencing service development. The Trust welcomes positive transformation and values clinical and non-clinical views in shaping services.

Successful candidates are normally appointed to the bottom of the pay scale unless previous NHS experience in a similar role can be evidenced.

SPFT takes its responsibilities for safeguarding children, young people and adults at risk very seriously. All staff and bank workers are expected to share this commitment and complete the relevant safeguarding training for their role.

The Trust actively promotes flexible working and supports work-life balance.
