About the role

This post forms part of the Directorate of Adult Mental Health within the North Yorkshire and York Locality area of Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust. Scarborough is a town on the north coast of Yorkshire, England with a population of just over 67.000 people (2019 census). Scarborough is the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire coast. This post has arisen due to increased financial provision into the area. The post covers the provision of medical leadership to the Outer area of the Scarborough Community Mental Health Team (SICT). The division between outer and central sections is purely for medical cover purposes and follows an equitable division of local GP surgeries. The community team continues to operate as one community team. The job is split into 3 sessions of supporting professional activities (SPA) and 7 sessions of direct clinical care (DCC). The post is based at The Ellis Centre, 18 Dean Road, Scarborough which is a unit to house the facilities to support the delivery of community care to adults. The community team receives an average of 100 - 120 referrals per calendar month with only a small proportion requiring assessments by the psychiatric team. The community team works under the principles of purposeful and productive care delivery involving collaborative work. The post holder, as a member of the leadership cell, is expected to provide medical leadership to the Outer section of the community team and enhance the quality of care interventions.
