Responsibilities
The successful candidate will provide consultant oversight and psychiatric treatment for 22 beds for patients with primarily functional illness on the Maples unit. The role also involves providing excellent psychiatric care and taking responsibility for 22 beds for older adults on the Maples unit in Peterborough.
The job plan is flexible to accommodate clinical and professional interests with time available for suitably qualified and motivated individuals to develop interests such as teaching or research.
The post holder will work closely with colleagues in the CRHTT OP, community teams and liaison services for older people to provide a seamless pathway.
Maples is a 22‑bedded ward staffed as a single unit. Patients with functional and organic illness are managed in two fully separate areas (8 beds for dementia, 14 beds for functional). Both areas provide care for functional patients while organic patients are admitted to Denbeigh ward, Cambridge.
The ward is supported by a full MDT, including access to occupational therapy, OTAs, psychology, physiotherapy and SALT. The ward also has a full‑time SAS doctor, occasional ST and two junior doctors. The post holder will be expected to act as a clinical supervisor for specialty trainees, with development as an educational supervisor encouraged. A robust and effective discharge planning team is also available.
The successful post holder will work closely with the CRHTT OP based at the Cavell, providing cross‑cover when needed. The CRHTT OP comprises a team leader, a consultant psychiatrist, a dementia nurse specialist, 10 CPNs and 3.5 support workers, covering the North of the Trust area including Peterborough, Huntingdon and Fenland.
As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under‑represented groups including people with long‑term conditions and members of our ethnic minority and LGBTQ+ communities.
