• To manage daily a specialist caseload within the in-patient wards

• To be actively involved with training within the Department. We are a friendly supportive team where regular meetings, CPD and supervision is available.
• To be responsible for appraisal and supervision of Band 3-5 staff within the team.
• To be an active clinical educator for students from a range of Universities.
• To be involved with clinical audit and service development within the team.
• Active member of the respiratory on-call rota
We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with five hospitals and community clinics serving a local population of around 695,000 people.
Our vision is 'great healthcare from great people'. Everything we do is guided by our values: ‘People feel cared for, safe, respected and confident that we are making a difference’.
We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called ‘We care’. It’s about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day-to-day. We’re looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families and carers we care for every day.
Applications for this role should be written by the applicant.
