Consultant Psychiatrist - Lavender Ward

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.

South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust has a rich history, well-established community links and an international reputation. We provide a full range of local mental health services to the Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton and Wandsworth London boroughs, as well as specialist forensic mental health services, including specialised services such as national deaf adults and CAMHS inpatients and OCD.

We are committed to providing high quality integrated health and social care for local people with mental health problems in South West London and more specialist mental health services for people throughout the UK. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as ‘good’ however we aim to be ‘outstanding’.
