Job summary

Consultant Psychiatrist 10PAs

The Trust is seeking to appoint an experienced Consultant Psychiatrist for Lavender Ward following the current post holder moving to an alternative post within the organisation. This is an established post at Springfield Hospital, in Tooting, London SW17 .

This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic and dynamic consultant psychiatrist to join this friendly ward team.

Lavender Ward was originally situated in Queen Mary's Hospital Roehampton, but moved to Springfield in June 2023, as part of the Trust's estates modernisation plan, which has resulted in all of the adult acute inpatient wards being only on 2 hospital sites instead of 3.

Both sites, at Springfield and Tolworth Hospitals, are undergoing extensive new building and refurbishment works.
