Consultant Psychiatrist - Bristol South Assessment & Recovery

Are you passionate about delivering sustainable, high quality community mental health services? We are seeking a Consultant Psychiatrist to join our Bristol Mental Health Assessment & Recovery South Team. The Assessment and Recovery service operates across Petherton Resource Centre (this post), Speedwell Centre and the Greenway Centre, delivered through Mental Health Bristol, a partnership of local health and social care providers including AWP. The service aims to increase meaningful contact with service users and improve access by working closely with local communities and GP practices. It supports adults aged 18+, including those transitioning from CAMHS, except individuals whose sole diagnosis is dementia. In this role, you will hold medical responsibility for one GP-aligned cluster (around 5-6 practices). You will undertake two new assessments and two follow-up appointments each week, alongside approximately eight Recovery appointments arranged across two flexible clinic blocks. You will work within a supportive multidisciplinary team including doctors, senior nurses, psychotherapists, non-medical prescribers, support workers and an experienced admin team. The service also hosts GP trainees, FY2 doctors, higher trainees and medical students, creating a friendly and lively medical environment. You will have access to established PDP groups for peer supervision and will be supported to develop a specialist clinical interest aligned to service needs.
