The post is a 10PA job. This will comprise 8 DCC and 2 SPA. Flexible working arrangements can be explored for the right candidate, depending on the needs of both the postholder and the CMHT. In addition, the use of SPA time can be flexible dependent on the needs and aspirations of the candidate – 1SPA will be devoted to local teaching CPD, appraisal and revalidation, while the other may be flexibly used, to pursue interests such as Quality Improvement, research, education, or a special interest. There would be support and encouragement available from both clinical and managerial colleagues for candidates working towards MRCPsych and / or CESR.
