Indicative Total Remuneration: $328,245 - $370,142 p.a. - MD2 - Consultant; $382,113 - $608,859p.a. - MD2 - Senior Consultant - Temporary Full-Time - up to the 21 January 2022

We are recruiting an enthusiastic psychiatrist to join our team, passionate about working with older people to optimise their mental health and wellbeing. The position will be primarily based in the acute older persons’ inpatient unit at the Lyell McEwin Hospital but will also have optional engagement in the NALHN OPMHS community team, by negotiation.

The NALHN Older Persons’ Mental Health Service has come a long way over the past few years through a reform process built around the OPMHS Culture Framework. We are dedicated to delivering compassionate person and family centred care through a growth oriented interdisciplinary team, where everyone matters, everyone contributes and everyone grows. We are a values-based service, nurturing a psychologically safe and supportive working environment.

This position is a 12 month contract, covering maternity leave for one of our team. This is an ideal opportunity to commence or complete training as an RANZCP Fellow, in psychiatry of old age. Similarly, this is an ideal opportunity for psychiatrists interested in consultation liaison psychiatry. Alternatively, you may be a general psychiatrist with an interest in the whole life span and this is a great opportunity to broaden your scope and have an excellent experience working with a wonderful team.

You will participate in the OPMHS consultants’ on-call roster. You will also have opportunity to participate in the NALHN neuro-stimulation service. You will be well supported with access to the SA medical officers’ enterprise agreement, rights of private practice and access to professional development entitlements. We provide a well-supported team environment. You will work with your consultant colleagues in the inpatient unit, support the practice and development of the trainee medical officers and provide a collaborative clinical leadership role within the interdisciplinary team.

If you are looking for an excellent year of opportunity in 2021 and care about the quality of life experienced by older South Australians, we would like to hear from you.

South Australian public sector promotes diversity and flexible ways of working including part-time. Applicants are encouraged to discuss the flexible working arrangements for this role.

Appointment will be subject to a satisfactory Criminal History Check.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants are encouraged to apply. Job Ref: 735665
