This is an exciting opportunity to joinour team of Paediatric Consultants in the Child Health Care Group. We are looking to recruita LocumPaediatrician at our Kent and Canterbury Hospital (Canterbury) on a one-year fixed term contract.
The post holder will have general paediatric responsibilities including cover of the Dolphin Ward and Ambulatory cases. Duties include participating in the EP (emergency pathway) on-call, 2 PM to 9 PM on the William Harvey Hospital site.
This will achieve our strategic aim of improving support surgery through Dolphin Ward and our ambulatory pathways.
In the future, there may be an opportunity to develop a specialist interest based on current existing subspecialties and expected service needs, particularly with increased expansion and substantive appointments.
A strong commitment from the appointee to the Child Health Care Group and involvement with activities such as audit, appraisal and assessment, learning and development and clinical governance is also an expectation.
The intention of this role is to support an appointee in a joint working pattern with the Kent and Medway Medical School. The appointee will primarily be based at Kent and Canterbury hospital. They will deliver general paediatric clinics, associated admin work, and have proportionate SPA time.

They will be available to support the care of CYP admitted under surgical teams for day procedures (it is not expected they will need to provide routine input, but will be available to provide an urgent paediatric review for the times at which CYP are admitted). This will include a scheduled shift until 7pm once a month to support CYP recovering from afternoon surgery lists.
We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with three acute hospitals and community sites serving a local population of around 700,000. We also provide specialist services for Kent and Medway.
We’re on an exciting journey of transformation. With a new Medical School at the centre of our community, a focus on research, clinical leadership and making our trust a rewarding and friendly place to work, there’s never been a better time to join us.
