Why Choose St Andrew’s?
As a charity, our purpose is to embed value based healthcare, allowing us to achieve the best possible outcomes and experiences of the people in our care. We have a responsibility to educate the next generation of professionals and to innovate - researching new treatments, therapies and environments to achieve better outcomes for our patients.
Low Secure / DBT Service
Our aim is to provide high-quality assessment, care and treatment, helping patients to progress to the least restrictive setting by equipping them with the skills required to live as independently as possible, closer to communities of their choosing.
We include patients in planning their care, valuing and embracing each individual’s unique qualities.
Our teams use compassion to be inclusive, motivated, open and honest. We are focused on outcomes and value by driving continuous improvements for our patients and treating everyone with equal respect, trust and dignity.
This is an opportunity for a non-consultant Doctor or General Practitioner to help shape our essential services. Joining an experienced and supportive team, you will demonstrate strong clinical skills within your professional field.
Membership of the GMC will be required. Further career progression in terms of Section 12(2) approval, Approved Clinician status, will be encouraged and supported through mentoring and allocated study budget.
Our patients and your colleagues will expect you to live the St Andrew’s CARE values of Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence every single day.
Development
This role is an exciting opportunity to work directly with the esteemed Dr Jonathan Baggott, an international specialist in the management of complex personality difficulties and eating disorders. In this role you will be exposed to a range of serious, complex and treatment resistant mental disorders and learn specialist therapeutic techniques and treatment models. The appointee will develop specialist knowledge in management of severe personality difficulties through supervision and mentoring.
Many of our associate specialists are pursuing membership to the college (RCPSYCH) and some have pursued alternative speciality training pathways to achieve equivalence of core training and CCT (staying within the charity).
We are extremely proud to empower the careers of our medical professionals, and our Executive Medical Director and all of our Clinical Directors have grown and developed into their current roles within the Charity
