NHS Orkney is looking to recruit up to 0.5 Whole Time Equivalent (i.e. up to 5 PA) Consultant Psychiatrist to join our team here in the Orkney Islands. We are keen to be flexible in agreeing a working arrangement that works for the right candidate. Orkney is an archipelago of beautiful islands with a deep cultural heritage, a gentle warm welcome and a resourceful community. The islands have excellent schools, leisure facilities and a wide range of activities including sport (Orkney is planning to host the Islands Games in 2025), music, art, drama; with a range of festivals spread across the year. Stunning wildlife and history, ranging from World Heritage Neolithic sites to World War 2, is all around. In 2020, Orkney was rated the best place to live in Britain for the 8th year running.
The post holder will be working with a very experienced, skilled, and versatile integrated Community Mental Health Team. The team comprises a number of services: substance misuse, older adult mental health, psychological therapy, and generic mental health. There is also a CAMHS service supported by a visiting CAMHS psychiatrist and psychologist, with input provided by NHS Grampian.
We have strong links with NHS Shetland Mental Health Services and the post holder will form part of a robust three-way partnership with Shetland and Grampian to ensure that there is the necessary peer/clinical support and supervision required. The post holder will also be working closely with a vibrant Third Sector and local Service User movement in order to tackle mental health stigma and increase local capacity and resilience. We are open to working flexibly with the right candidates.
