We are seeking a Consultant Psychiatrist to participate in the on-going development of the recovery programme at this inpatient recovery centre. The centre is a 20 bed, free-standing residential facility and serves men with complex and persistent psychiatric disabilities, who require a longer-term, supportive recovery programme in order to prepare for life in the community. Over half our service users are of Maaori or Pacific ethnicity, and it is a priority to make our service approach responsive to their cultural needs.
The role will work directly with individuals and their families/whaanau and also provide leadership within our multidisciplinary team to further develop and refine the programme. Among our goals, we want to increase service user and family/Whaanau involvement in treatment planning, increase the specificity of diagnostic assessment, and expand the therapeutic offerings for service users. This service is striving to make their programme strengths-based and able to facilitate individuals' progress on their unique paths toward recovery.
The Consultant Psychiatrist will be supported by a team consisting of nursing staff, a psychologist, a social worker, and an occupational therapist. You would be a part of a psychiatric community of 70 physicians and will have allocated time and opportunity to participate in weekly Grand Rounds, peer review, continuing medical education, and quality improvement, in support of your on-going professional development.
