Summary
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, driven new colleague to join our team as a Junior Clinical Fellow. This fellowship will split your time 75% clinical (on the junior doctor rota) and 25% allocated to pursuits (clinical or non-clinical) giving you the time and space to undertake work that furthers your interests and your medical career.
As an ED fellow you will join a very well supported team working principally in the Adult ED of a leading Major Trauma Centre.
You will be allocated a supervising EM Consultant with relevant interests to support your project from amongst our reknowned team.
There is EM Consultant presence on the shop floor at least 23 hours a day Monday to Friday and 16 hours per day over the weekend. When a consultant is not present in the department there will typically be two doctors of ST4+ level.
WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 20% lower than London and 14 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
• You will work on the Emergency Department junior doctor rota covering a range of shifts (including night shifts and weekends)
• During these clinical shifts you will find yourself supported working in areas such as Majors and Resus providing quality Emergency Care
• You will either participate in an existing QI project/Audit/Teaching or come up with your own (with support)
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• responsible and cooperative working
• initiative and resilience in the face of challenges
• excellent time management and organisational skills
• drive and commitment to always developing and improving
• the ability to prioritise clinical need, maximise safety and minimise risk
• understanding and anticipation of the needs of patients, visitors and staff
• ability to work in a patient facing role during Covid outbreaks
