If you are even considering a change give us a call to discuss the post. As a result of a redesign of services we have a vacancy for a permanent Consultant in General Adult Psychiatry for 40 hours per week (10 Programmed Activities). Candidates unable to work whole time for personal reasons will be eligible to be considered for the post and, if appointed, an appropriately amended Job Description will be agreed.
This post is based at Dr Gray’s Hospital, Elgin, a modern District General Hospital with a range of specialties and diagnostic facilities. One of the attractions of working in Moray is a tradition of close working with colleagues from General Practice and the Local Authority. Since April 2016 this has been formalised as an Integrated Joint Board. The post is to provide Consultant input to the east Moray catchment area which includes a large swathe of rural Speyside, coastal villages and a sector of Elgin City.
The Royal Burgh of Elgin thrives as a centre of administration, education, tourism and trade with agricultural, service and textile industries. Situated in Scotland’s Castle and Whisky country, the area offers a wide range of recreational activities such as golf, fishing, hill walking, surfing, canoeing, cycling, horse riding and winter sports. This is an opportunity to live and work in a beautiful part of Scotland that offers a great quality of life and has good transport links with the rest of the UK.
