We are supporting one of the UK's leading independent mental health providers with the launch of a brand-new, 26-bed, nurse-led residential service opening in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire in January 2026.

This purpose-built service will offer recovery-focused care to adults with enduring mental health conditions who no longer require hospital-level treatment. The model promotes independence, stability, and person-centred outcomes within a structured, therapeutic environment.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Consultant Psychiatrist (General Adult) to join the service on a permanent, part-time basis (2 days per week). You will provide psychiatric leadership, clinical oversight, and expert input across the multidisciplinary team as the service establishes itself and grows.

Liaise with community teams, commissioners, and external agencies to ensure seamless continuity of care and effective discharge planning.

Support and supervise junior medical and nursing staff, promoting continuous learning and professional development.

Contribute to clinical governance, quality improvement projects, and service evaluation.

Ensure all practice adheres to statutory legislation, GMC standards, and relevant mental health frameworks.

Requirements

Full GMC registration with a licence to practise.

CCT in General Adult Psychiatry (or equivalent).

Section 12 (2) approval under the Mental Health Act (desirable).

Demonstrated experience in inpatient, step-down, or rehabilitation mental health settings.

Strong clinical decision-making, leadership, and communication skills.

Commitment to delivering evidence-based, person-centred, and recovery-oriented care.

What's on Offer

Permanent, part-time position (2 days per week).

Competitive salary package (DOE, outside IR35 considered).

Opportunity to help shape a new, high-quality residential mental health service.

Supportive working environment within an experienced, multi-disciplinary team.

Access to professional development and leadership training.

Modern, purpose-built facilities with a focus on recovery and independence.

Summary

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in the development and clinical direction of a new residential mental health service in Melton Mowbray. The post offers an ideal balance for an experienced Consultant Psychiatrist seeking to combine leadership, innovation, and high-quality patient care within a growing, forward-thinking organisation.
