The South Sector post covers a population served by GP practices based at Stone Hill, Level Chamber 1, Pikes Lane, Orient House, Deane Clinic, Wyresdale, St Helen’s Road, Peter House and Stable Fold Surgery. The sectors are reviewed to reflect population changes, deprivation, referral patterns and throughput to ensure equitability among the four General Adult Community Consultants.

The under‑16 population is 60,000 and the over‑65 population 40,000. The nominal catchment population therefore for each of the six General Adult Psychiatrists is just under 30,000.

The post holder will be based at Barnett House, Community Mental Health Team on Weston Street, Bolton, where the other General Adult Community Psychiatrists are also based. He or she will be given an unshared office with a PC and full‑time secretarial support and will be supported by a full‑time Core Trainee.
