Physician Associate

Southern Health NHS Foundation provides specialist mental health services, learning disability services, community physical health services including community hospitals and specialist inpatient units, and primary care across Hampshire, and is one of the largest providers of its kind in the country.

We provide care to around 240,000 people each year, and employ over 6000 people, including doctors, nurses, therapists and support staff. We are part of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Sustainability & Transformation Plan. We have an active research department and are a teaching trust, delivering training and teaching to trainees from a range of clinical backgrounds.

We are looking to recruit a Physician Associate to join the medical team at Bluebird House medium secure unit and Austen House low secure unit at the Tatchbury mount site in Hampshire. All the patients are aged 12-18 and detained under the Mental Health Act. The post holder will work across both units.

Applications are invited from Physician Associates who are keen to work in a mental health setting and want to work with young people. Previous mental health experience is not required.
