Summary
In need of a work-life rebalance? Looking for no weekends or on call? Have a passion for transforming frailty services?
We have three exciting opportunities for enthusiastic and forward-thinking consultants to join us in the development and delivery of community services in Sussex.
We are looking for Consultant Geriatricians who will provide senior leadership and oversight into our Intermediate Care Unit (ICU) inpatient services and are offering a brilliant opportunity to design a job and a service that would suit your modern career aspirations. If you want to make a difference to patients at the interface of primary and acute secondary care, are committed to multidisciplinary working and would like to embrace the delivery of good quality medical care, free from acute hospital-based pressures, on-call commitments and obstacles to work/life balance – join us.

It’s an exciting time to be joining Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust, with a Community Beds Optimisation project underway looking at making the best use of community beds across all our ICUs. The post will sit alongside colleagues in our Adult Services directorate which is focusing on advancing our frailty services across the ICUs, Urgent Community Response (UCR) and Virtual Wards (VW).
