Summary
This is an exciting opportunity for a doctor with experience in paediatrics to join a dynamic department. Although these roles are new within the Paediatric department, the Trust is supportive in allowing candidates to achieve their CESR programme in other specialties. The Paediatric department will support successful candidates to obtain relevant competencies.
The post holder will work on the middle grade tier; however, it is envisaged that a full tier two rota will not be worked and a bespoke rota will be created. The post holder will be required to cover on-call duties including some night shifts and weekends (with consultant support). Duties will be undertaken on the Paediatric ward, Outpatient clinic, Special Care Baby Unit and Children’s Assessment Unit.
The Specialty Doctor role presents an excellent service and personal development opportunity for the successful candidate to take an active senior role in a number of significant future developments within the paediatric department. These include:
1. Development of an ambulatory service
2. Simulation
3. Teaching of medical students
4. Subspecialty interest e.g. diabetes, epilepsy, cardiology etc
