Position Summary
Are you an enthusiastic, talented Psychiatrist looking to rejuvenate or begin your career?
We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, committed and talented psychiatrist to join our Addictions service based in Aberdeen City to provide excellence in care of patients.
With further digitalisation of our services, there may be some opportunity to work in a hybrid model with sessions workable from home, but the job will be primarily on site at Royal Cornhill Hospital.
Full registration with a licence to practise with the GMC is required (must be in place prior to starting).
Those trained in the UK should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to CCT or be within 6 months of confirmed entry on the GMC Specialist Register from the date of interview. CESR (Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration) or Portfolio Pathway route doctors are only eligible to apply for a substantive Consultant post once CESR or portfolio specialist registration is awarded. Those with an International Recognised Specialist Qualification approved by GMC should have a confirmed entry on the GMC Specialist Register.
Applications from doctors with appropriate specialist training and experience who are not listed on the GMC Specialist Register can be considered for a Locum Consultant post (up to 12 months) if no substantive Consultant appointment is made. While in locum employment, an application to obtain a CESR or Portfolio Pathway Specialist Registration can be made to the GMC.
We have an attractive relocation policy – details can be discussed during recruitment.
Informal enquiries should be directed to:
Dr. Murray Smith, Unit Clinical Director (murray.smith@nhs.scot)
Dr. Steven Beason, Clinical Lead for Addiction Psychiatry (steven.beason@nhs.scot)
NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination.
