The role of the appointee will be primarily to support the ongoing development in the department of Stroke and to deliver Stroke services at East and North Herts NHS Trust at the Lister Hospital Stevenage.
This is an excellent opportunity within the Stroke department as the department has just been designated a hub (HASU) and will progress from receiving around seven hundred attendances per annum to around eleven hundred.
Our complete commitment to developing careers means we’re looking for proactive, motivated, forward thinking, and dynamic individuals to join our clinical team.
This post is an important part of our ongoing development of medical services at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, offering the successful applicant the opportunity to work closely with the existing Stroke physicians to provide a high standard of care across the Trust.
We are seeking consultants with enthusiasm, commitment, and drive to work closely with colleagues throughout the organisation and within the community to help lead the organisation.
The post holder will have the opportunity to undertake 2 SPA per week. 1.5 PAs are allocated as core SPAs with the additional 0.5 (or more) being allocated for undertaking specific supporting activities within the department/Trust.
At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of general & specialist services we provide & our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible & innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals:
• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage

• Hertford County, Hertford
• Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood
We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation; our staff & patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We understand that finding and starting a new job is an important life decision. If you need reasonable adjustments for a disability, or a life event, such as menopause - so that we can consider your application fairly & to get the best out of you during the selection process, please let us know.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. Employees are entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns & we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made & considered formally, & will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
