We welcome full time or part time applications and will develop jobs to support individual clinical and professional interests.Consultants within CPFT have access to wide-ranging opportunities to develop professional interests in research, education, and leadership. We are one of the Cambridge University Health Partners and have close ties to the University medical school, which is consistently ranked as one of the best in the world.Clinicians are also closely allied to the Cambridge University Department of Psychiatry which was ranked top in Europe over the preceding decade in 2010. This has been further strengthened by the appointment of a Foundation Professor of Old Age Psychiatry. Clinical dementia research has been enhanced by the development of the award winning Windsor Research Unit, a dedicated facility for clinical dementia research on the Fulbourn site. In 2020 the Windsor research unit was chosen as a trial site for the Oxford Covid Vaccine; one of many exciting projects and illustrative of the opportunity available. Most of our Cambridge based psychiatrists have a PhD.For appropriately qualified and motivated candidates time for educational or research activity could become part of their job plan with funding for protected sessions.
