Consultant Psychiatrist Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)

We are seeking a committed, compassionate and forward-thinking Consultant Psychiatrist to join our Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). This is an exciting opportunity to work within a dynamic, high-acuity inpatient service delivering safe, patient-centred, multidisciplinary care. Our 10-bedded, mixed-sex PICU provides intensive treatment for individuals experiencing a acutely disturbed phase of serious mental disorder, often requiring detention under the Mental Health Act. The unit supports patients where heightened risk and loss of self-control necessitate a secure, responsive and highly skilled clinical environment. Care within the unit is patient-centred and recovery-focused, delivered through close multidisciplinary collaboration, with an emphasis on rapid assessment, timely intervention and proactive risk management. The post attracts a minimum of 2.5 SPAs for full-time working, with flexibility to look at enhancements support other activities in line with Trust priorities. We offer strong peer support, opportunities for clinical supervision, and welcome candidates interested in leadership, teaching, research or innovative service development. A generous relocation package is available to support a smooth transition to the role and the area.
