The Retreat is a world-renowned mental health clinic working with clients across the UK. We have a long and distinguished reputation for being innovators in the field of mental health care, from a pioneering start in 1792 to the present day, where we continue to build our services around the needs of our clients. The Retreat operates both remotely and from base in York, providing high-quality services for adults, children, and young people, including a large NHS contract.
We are expanding our service and looking for extra input for ADHD assessment and prescribing, working predominantly in York, although some hybrid working is a possibility.
Our ADHD client base is mostly adult, but we would also like to expand our CYP offer, and we would like to offer more joint autism / ADHD assessments in our two-clinician team process.
If you could offer us regular time, either in office hours or in evenings or weekends, we'd like to talk with you. We offer competitive sessional rates, free parking, office facilities, and great team support.
Main duties of the job
* Assessment for ADHD (for adults or young people)
* ADHD medication titration
* Shared care prescribing
* Annual reviews
* Membership of our strong MDT
We're looking for an Associate Specialist / Consultant / GP, but this is negotiable for the right candidate for a Middle Grade / Specialty Doctor.
