[Hiring] Consultant Psychiatrist @Dr Julian Medical Group

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Consultant Psychiatrist to provide clinical consultancy and supervisory support within our ADHD prescribing pathway. At Dr-Julian, we provide accessible mental health care via video, audio, and messaging, and are expanding our neurodiversity services to improve access to care.

• Our model is senior prescriber led clinical supervision, with consultant psychiatrist oversight and specialist escalation.
• Experienced senior ADHD prescribers provide routine clinical support and first-line supervision to qualified independent ADHD nurse prescribers.
• You will supervise and advise those senior prescribers, contribute to clinical governance, and provide specialist input on selected complex or higher-risk cases.
• This is not a routine assessment or prescribing caseload role, and does not require automatic review or sign-off of every initiation, prescription, or treatment review.
• Selected direct patient reviews or prescribing may be undertaken where clinically required, within your competence and agreed role arrangements.
• Treating independent prescribers remain accountable for their prescribing decisions.
• You remain accountable for your own advice, supervision, clinical decisions, and any care responsibilities you undertake.
• Dr-Julian retains responsibility for its service governance arrangements.

Qualifications

• Medical degree recognised by the GMC; full GMC registration with a current licence to practise; and entry on the GMC Specialist Register in a psychiatry specialty relevant to the agreed patient group.
• MRCPsych or a recognised equivalent qualification, with substantial recent consultant-level experience in ADHD assessment, diagnosis, and medication initiation, titration, and review.
• Experience of supervising independent prescribers, providing specialist consultancy, and working within multidisciplinary services.
• Competence in complex ADHD presentations, psychiatric comorbidity, risk assessment, and appropriate escalation. Any work involving children and young people requires separately verified relevant competence.
• Knowledge of NICE NG87, safe controlled drug prescribing, physical health monitoring, and shared-care arrangements.
• Current Level 3 safeguarding adults and safeguarding children training.
• Appropriate insurance or professional indemnity covering the full agreed role, including remote consultancy, supervision of non-medical prescribers, relevant patient age groups, and any direct clinical work.
• Engagement with appraisal, revalidation, and CPD, alongside strong communication, clinical documentation, and digital working skills.

Requirements

• Minimum commitment of 5 hours per week.
• Scheduled supervision, governance time, and escalation availability will be agreed before starting.
• Response times, cover during absence, and any additional clinical work and fees will be defined separately.
• This commitment does not imply continuous or out-of-hours on-call availability.

Benefits

• Highly competitive rates, remote working, and flexibility within an agreed schedule.
• An innovative digital platform, a dedicated clinical leadership team, and opportunities for professional development.
• An inclusive, friendly, and collaborative working environment.
• Regular access to CPD, a supportive multidisciplinary team, and ongoing support from our Clinical Leadership team.
• Professional supervision and support arrangements appropriate to the role will be agreed at appointment.

Please submit your CV, GMC number, evidence of relevant qualifications, details of your recent ADHD and supervision experience, and availability. Appointment is subject to verification of identity, registration, qualifications, references, eligibility to undertake the work and indemnity, and an Enhanced DBS check appropriate to the agreed duties.
