Clinical Development Fellow in Psychiatry
ROYAL EDINBURGH HOSPITAL
Reference - 214836
NHS Lothian is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.
To this end, NHS Lothian welcomes applications from all sections of society.
We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
Applications are welcome for the above fixed term, part time (32 hours per week) post based in the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.
There is one (8 Programmed Activities) clinical development fellow posts. The post is newly available due to a member of staff not being able to take up the post. The role will combine both working in a strong MDT with the opportunity to pursue a project across the uniquely broad areas that psychiatry encompasses: from therapy to ethics to psychopharmacology.
If interested applicants are looking for flexible working we would encourage them to contact us (see below for details). There are a range of opportunities that would facilitate less than full time working and NHS Lothian psychiatric services have a strong track record in supporting consultants to develop their role and job plan through less than full time work.
The post does not have educational approval from the Postgraduate Dean and will not be recognised for training.
